Patent number: 12261843Abstract: A native application on a client computing device enables secure user authentication via an identity provider (IdP) for accessing services of a web service provider. The native application forwards a redirect request generated by a main gateway of the service provider and including an IdP uniform resource locator (URL) to a system browser of the client computing device. The redirect request directs the system browser to a broker gateway of the service provider that registers an authentication response handler and redirects the system browser to the IdP URL to enable a user of the native client computing device to authenticate. After the broker gateway receives an IdP authentication response from the IdP following authentication by the user, the broker gateway provides the IdP authentication response to the native application for providing back to the main gateway. The main gateway finally processes the authentication response to complete the authentication request.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Inductive Automation, LLCInventors: Joel Specht, Matthew Rojas

Patent number: 12231418Abstract: An agent computer system uses a session-less login process to log in two users in a same application session. The system establishes an application session with an application server and a user session with the application server by authenticating a first user using an identity provider system (IdP). The system detects a request to perform an action by the first user within the application session that requires a second user's authentication. While maintaining the user session, the system requests a session-less authentication of the second user by transmitting an authentication request, which includes a flag indicating that the requested authentication is a session-less authentication. The system receives a confirmation of the authentication of the second user without establishing a second user session and performs the requested action in response to receiving the confirmation of the authentication of the second user.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2024Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Inductive Automation, LLCInventors: Joel Specht, Carl Reuben Gould
