    Patent number: 7487535
    Abstract: A computer receives an authentication request from a client. The computer creates a temporary user object and populates it with identification information from the authentication request. The computer then forwards the authentication request to an authentication source. Once the authentication source has validated the authentication request, the computer queries the authentication source for identification information, populates the temporary user object with the identification information, and makes the user object permanent.
