  • Patent number: 9244707
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to dynamically transforming user interface actions into executable script commands and to storing groups of executable script commands related to specific tasks. In an embodiment, a computer system tracks user interface actions at a software program user interface. The computer system transforms the user interface actions into an executable script command. The script command is configured to perform the tracked user interface action when executed. The computer system also dynamically displays the resulting executable script commands in a script command window as the user interface actions are entered by the computer user. The computer system may further determine that multiple user interface actions correspond to a specified task and store the resulting executable script commands related to the specified task as a combined group of executable script commands.

  • Publication number: 20090307744
    Abstract: A federated identity verification system includes an identity provider that provides security tokens ultimately to one or more relying parties for access by the client to services at a relying party. Specifically, the relying party can validate the security token from an identity provider (whether directly or via a client) when verifying that the received security token conforms to security configuration data previously exchanged with the identity provider. To establish the trust relationship, the identity provider and one or more relying parties exchange security configuration information through an agreed-to communication channel. The security configuration information indicates the settings that the other party needs to use for establishing, maintaining, and/or monitoring the trust relationship. The communication channel allows both parties to flexibly and continually synchronize changes to security configurations, and thus maintain, change, or end the trust relationship automatically, as desired.
