  • Patent number: 11706206
    Abstract: A system manages security policy data used to provide access by a user to third-party applications without revealing sign-on credentials to the user. The system includes an access management server that hosts an administration portal for configuring the security policy data. The security policy data includes, for each user, a list of applications to which the user may request access and the corresponding sign-on credentials for accessing each of the applications. In response to inputs provided at the administration portal, the system associates applications with credentials and subsequently associates the credentials with a user. Before these associations are used to update the security policy data. A request for confirmation of user permission is sent to a permission server, which stores current permission data for users. If permission for the user is confirmed, security policy data is updated according to the associations provided via the administration portal.

  • Patent number: 11323432
    Abstract: A system provides for automatically populating a sign-on page with sign-on credentials and automatically submitting the sign-on credentials without revealing at least one of the sign-on credentials to a user. The system includes an access management server which stores sign-on credentials for accessing the application. An application access tool, which is associated with a browser extension of a web browser executed on the user's device, provides a network address for a sign-on page of the application, and the system automatically redirects the user to this sign-on page. The system uses a source code database to identify object identifiers in html source code of the sign-on page that corresponds to form fields or other objects in the sign-on page for appropriately entering and submitting sign-on credentials in the sign-on page. The credentials are entered in an anonymized format that is not readable to the user.

  • Patent number: 11089005
    Abstract: A system provides access to a third-party application by a user without revealing at least one sign-on credential used to access the application to the user. The system includes an access management server and a permission server. The access management server hosts a user portal. In response to a user input from the user portal requesting to access the application, the access management server requests, from the permission server, confirmation of user's permission to access the application. The permission server determines whether access is confirmed using stored permission data, which includes applications the user is currently permitted to access. If the permission server confirms the user's permission, the access management server redirects the user to a sign-on page of the application, automatically enter the sign-on credentials in an anonymized format that is not readable by the user, and automatically submits the sign-on credentials.
