  • Single sign-on identity management between local and remote systems
    Patent number: 10749854
    Abstract: Single sign-on identity management between local and cloud-based systems is provided. A remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint is registered as a local device, service or resource in a user's local directory services system. A local device and associated user requesting access to cloud-based resources will then see the authentication endpoint as an internal (inside the enterprise) server and may supply an authentication ticket which includes on-premises log-in or sign-on identity for the user. The remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint may then validate the authentication ticket, and the user may then access devices, applications and services operated in association with the remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint without a second or separate log-in or sign-on and without use of additional authentication equipment at the user's enterprise network.
