Abstract: A computing device may include a memory and a processor configured to cooperate with the memory to establish a connection with a client device, with the client device having a first credential to connect the client device to a computing service, and the first credential being provided by a proxy. The processor may further receive a request from the client device via the connection to validate the first credential before use of the first credential by the client device, and validate the first credential with use of a second credential for the computing service obtained independent of the proxy.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a smart directory search. A method is disclosed that includes inputting into a sort engine a set user names from a search and organization details of a searching user that includes an organization to which the user belongs; obtaining a policy from a policy store based on the organization and platform, wherein the policy specifies a sort criteria; and applying the sort criteria to the set of user names to generate a sorted list of user names, wherein the sort criteria includes calculating an organizational distance between the user and each of the set of user names.

Abstract: In an enterprise computing system, in response to operation of a plurality of mobile applications on a mobile device, a system server receives application event data and stores the application event data as event entries in an event repository. Each event entry identifies mobile application activity for a respective mobile application running on the mobile device. In response to a trigger condition, a server performs activity evaluation operations on the event entries stored in the event repository to identify a frequent sequence of application events occurring for a subset of the mobile applications. Based on the frequent sequence of application events, the server creates a widget incorporating corresponding application control instructions effective to automatically replicate the frequent sequence of application events when the widget is deployed and invoked on the mobile device.
