  • Patent number: 7509406
    Abstract: Systems, computer-program-products, and methods for managing terminal services (TS) accounts and sessions for online utilization of hosted applications are provided. A system is operative to monitor a supply of available TS accounts and create TS accounts in response to detecting that the supply of available TS accounts is below a minimum number. When a request to access a TS session is detected, the system provisions a TS account for the user to immediately access the TS session without entering credentials. The provisioned TS account provides access and is associated with a unique profile. The system is also operative to receive the request to access the hosted application and decrypt credentials generated for the user. A method involves reading a username assigned to a user requesting access, locating the TS account associated with the username, identifying the language associated with the TS account, and launching the hosted application in that language.
