  • Publication number: 20230113325
    Abstract: Described herein is a framework for generating an integrated identity and access management (IAM) system from a first IAM system and a second IAM system that is different than the first IAM system. The integrated IAM system is generated by: (i) creating a domain in a customer tenancy associated with the first IAM system, and (ii) embedding an identity provider of the second IAM system within the domain. The integrated IAM system receives a request from a user to perform an operation with respect to resource associated with the second IAM system. Upon the user being successfully authenticated by the integrated IAM system, the request is executed.

  • Publication number: 20230109109
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for granting an application of a first type of identity system, which uses a first type of identity token, access to a second type of identity system, which uses a second type of identity token. An application can make a request to a token exchange system. The request can include a bearer token and a public key of the application. The token exchange system can exchange the bearer token for a Proof-of-Possession token after performing verification steps. A token exchange system can exchange the first token (e.g., bearer token) for the first identity system for the second token (e.g., Proof-of-Possession token) for the second identity system without requiring entry of credentials to access the second identity system.

  • Patent number: 6564232
    Abstract: A method and apparatus in a data processing system for managing distribution of data structures. A first data structure is received including a first version identifier. The version identifier is stored for the first data structure. A second structure is received including a second version identifier. Responsive to receiving a second data structure, a determination is made as to whether the second data structure is a replacement for the first data structure. Responsive to the second data structure being a replacement for the first data structure, a determination is made as to whether the first version identifier is different from the second version identifier. Responsive to a determination that the first version identifier is different from the second version identifier, the first data structure is replaced with the second data structure.
