  • Federated identity mapping using delegated authorization
    Patent number: 9276932
    Abstract: A method for identity mapping across web services uses a delegated authorization protocol, such as OAuth. In response to a request from a first user at a first web service, a connection to a second web service is established using the protocol. The second web service responds by sending information associated with a second user of the first web service who previously logged into the second web service from the first web service using the protocol. The second user may be a “contact” of the first user. The information received from the second web service is a access token that was obtained by the second user during that prior login. The access token is provided in lieu of data associated with the second user's account at the second web service. Thereafter, the first web service uses the access token it received to map to an identity of the second user.
