  • Patent number: 11750656
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing secure access to an email server. A gateway server can receive a request for email notification information from a notification server and parse the request to identify at least one user device associated with the request. The gateway server can then determine whether the identified devices comply with any applicable compliance rules, for example by requesting a compliance status from a management server at which the identified devices are enrolled. If at least one of the identified devices is in compliance, the gateway can pass the request through to the email server. The gateway can then receive a response from the email server and provide it to the notification server.

  • Patent number: 11743356
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing push notifications to a third-party application executing on a client device. An example can include encrypting user credentials, generating a callback Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) with at least a portion of the encrypted credentials embedded into the URL, and requesting notifications from an email service to be provided at the callback URL. Upon receiving a notification at the callback URL, a system component can decrypt the credentials within the URL using a private key and log into the email account using those decrypted credentials. The system component can then generate a push notification based on any changes found in the email account and cause the notification to be delivered to the third-party application on the client device.
