  • Publication number: 20240267209
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for salted password protection of computing resources. An entity identifier and password for authenticating an entity to access a protected computing resource are received. A salt value is generated as a random value that is combined with the password to generate a salted password. A hash value is generated based on a hash function and the salted password as an input to the hash function. Based on the password, an encryption key is generated for encrypting the salt value. The salt value is encrypted based on the encryption key and an encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted salt value. The entity identifier, hash value, and encrypted salt value are stored in a secured database for later retrieval to validate subsequent access requests specifying the entity identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240267210
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for salted password protection of computing resources. An entity identifier and password for authenticating an entity to access a protected computing resource are received and a client salt value is generated by a password management engine of a client computing device. A server salt value is generated as a random value that is combined with the client salt value to generate a combined salt value. The combined salt value is combined with the password to generate a combined salted password. A hash value is generated based on a hash function and the combined salted password as an input to the hash function, and the server salt value is encrypted based on an encryption key and an encryption algorithm to generate an encrypted server salt value. The entity identifier, hash value, and encrypted server salt value are stored in a secured database for later validation of access requests.

  • Publication number: 20230188515
    Abstract: An approach for optimizing security token exchange. The approach receives a first request from a client. The approach extracts a first security token and an API reference. The approach validates the first security token. If the security token is valid, then the approach, calls the API and retrieves a second security token, embeds the second security token in the API and sends a second request with a third security token and the reference to the API to another application in a different domain.

  • Patent number: 9990189
    Abstract: Distribution of middleware binary includes: receiving a request to deploy a workload with middleware service(s); selecting a base operating system (OS) image to host the middleware service(s); determining locations of binary file(s) for the middleware service(s) in a repository on a storage system; cloning a virtual disk containing the base OS image on the storage system; and copying the binary file(s) from the locations in the repository into the cloned virtual disk on the storage system. The binary file(s) are copied onto the virtual disk directly on the storage system, without the need to traverse a network interface. The base OS image is augmented with the binary files just prior to the deployment of the virtual machine (VM).

  • Patent number: 9594622
    Abstract: Responsive to detecting a failure in a computer system determined by receiving a trap from at least one component integrated in the computer system, a notification to a recipient may be transmitted. A service ticket is created associated with the failure. One or more other problem events occurring during the failure is detected and an indication that the other problem events occurred during the failure is recorded. Notifying the recipient during the failure, of the one or more other problem events, is prevented. Responsive to detecting a resolution of the failure, the service ticket is updated with the other problem events with the indication that the other problem event occurred during the failure.

  • Patent number: 9569275
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for allocating and reserving virtualization-based resources is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, by a virtualization-based resource management system, a reservation request to reserve a set of computing resources; dynamically allocating the set of computing resources to the reservation request; assigning a key to the allocated set of computing resources; and maintaining the allocated set of computing resources in a reserved state until a utilization request is received to utilize the allocated set of computing resources, the utilization request including the key.

  • Patent number: 9280335
    Abstract: A composable software bundle is created by retrieving a semantic representation of a set of software modules. A functional representation of a set of operations is retrieved. Each operation in the set of operations is to be performed on the set of software modules during at least one virtual image life-cycle phase in a set of virtual image life-cycle phases. A set of artifacts including a set of executable instructions associated with the set of operations is identified. The semantic representation, the functional representation, and the set of artifacts, are stored in a composable software bundle.

  • Patent number: 9047160
    Abstract: A virtual image is created by receiving a selection of at least one composable software bundle. The at least one composable software bundle includes a first set of metadata and a first set of artifacts comprising a first set of executable instructions associated with a first set of operations. A virtual image asset is selected and received. The virtual image asset includes one or more virtual image disks, a second set of metadata, and a second set of artifacts including a second set of executable instructions associated with a second set of operations. A new virtual image asset is created based on the at least one composable software bundle and the virtual image asset. The new virtual image asset includes a third set of metadata that is based on the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata.
