  • Publication number: 20170237699
    Abstract: Examples described include software hosting systems able to provide software as a service to client systems through a firewall and/or to client systems which do not have web service capability. Examples include mailbox migration systems for migrating mailboxes from a source messaging system (e.g. a Lotus Notes system) to a destination messaging system. Software hosting systems described herein may maintain an action buffer including a next action to be performed by the source messaging system, and wait for data (e.g. messaging system content) to be returned and stored in a data buffer. Communication between the software hosting system and the source messaging system may occur over a communication channel which may be operated through a firewall using HTTP.

  • Publication number: 20160253339
    Abstract: Examples of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for migration of data, including data from archives, are described. In some examples, the archive data may be divided into slices which may be indexed and queried on a per-user basis to facilitate a per-user migration of the archive data. Example techniques are described for migrating archives that employ storage saving techniques. When an extraction fails for lack of a copy of a particular file in a slice, the missing files may be systematically identified and re-processed. Examples are described of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for aggregation of multiple mailbox descriptor files to migrate multiple mailbox descriptor files to a single destination mailbox.

  • Patent number: 8423616
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for identifying and correlating e-mail messages. The contents of the subject and recipients fields of e-mail messages received at and sent from a computing system are hashed and stored in a database. When an incoming e-mail message is received at the computing system, the contents of its subject and recipients fields are also hashed. A search is then made of the database to locate e-mail messages identified in the database that have a sufficient number of subject and address hash values that match the subject and address hash values generated for the incoming e-mail message so that the messages may be correlated. A correlation is made between the incoming e-mail message and the best matching e-mail message located during the search of the database.

  • Patent number: 8352553
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a bi-direction e-mail transport between a management (“CRM”) server computer and an e-mail server computer. An e-mail connector communicates with a CRM server computer to determine whether any e-mail messages are pending send at the CRM server computer. If any e-mail messages are pending send, the e-mail connector retrieves the e-mail messages from the CRM server computer. The e-mail connector then communicates with an e-mail server computer to send the retrieved e-mail messages to their intended recipients. The e-mail connector may also retrieve e-mail messages from the e-mail server computer and determine whether the e-mail messages are CRM related. If the e-mail messages are CRM related, the e-mail connector is operative to transmit the CRM-related e-mails to the CRM server.

  • Patent number: 8332922
    Abstract: In a web-based service environment, third party providers need to have varying degrees of access to user data for their complementary services. To prevent third party providers from having broader access than necessary or not adequate levels of access, transferable restricted security tickets are employed to determine an appropriate level of access for third parties. Tickets with expiration and restriction roles define a duration and level of access for a third party. The restrictions are determined through an intersection of the authorizing user's security role and restriction roles defined in the system.

  • Publication number: 20090007250
    Abstract: The claimed method and system provides a client authentication distributor component (CAD) that handles multiple client application requests for authentication to a common authentication provider. In one embodiment, only a single user sign on process may be required after which the CAD manages future authentication processes on behalf of the user without the user requiring to provide credentials.
