  • Patent number: 10659416
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.

  • Patent number: 10474428
    Abstract: Parsed attachments from email communications may be sorted. In some examples, an application, such as an email processing application, may display email summaries associated with emails within an email summary view of the email application interface. A selected email associated with a selected email summary may be displayed in an email view. The email processing application may identify one or more attachments within the emails. Attachment summaries associated with the one or more attachments may be displayed within an attachment summary view of the email application interface.

  • Patent number: 7360096
    Abstract: The present invention provides for securely processing client credentials used for Web-based access to resources. A login page with an interface for entering user credentials is presented at a client and entered user credentials are sent to the server. In response to receiving user credentials, the server generates a unique session identifier for the client. The server also derives a digital signature for the user credentials based on a current key in a rotating key store and the unique session identifier. The server then encrypts the digital signature and the user credentials based on an encryption key derived from the current key and the unique session identifier. When encrypted credentials are received back at the client, keys from the rotating key store are used to attempt to validate the credentials. If user credentials can not be validated, a user is again presented with the login page.

  • Patent number: 5812780
    Abstract: Method and system for assessing the performance of a server application that acquires performance information from the perspective of a simulated user and has significantly reduced hardware requirements. Particularly, actual user behavior is modeled so that accurate determinations can be made as to the number of users a given server application can adequately support.User behavior is modeled in a client profile that contains user parameters corresponding to the nature, timing, and frequency of user activities in operating a client that in turn corresponds to client tasks. A plurality of processes and process threads are initiated to contact a server as a plurality of simulated clients from a single client computer, each simulated client making a separate logical connection to the server. A task scheduler will schedule the simulated client tasks that are determined for each simulated user by reference to the user parameters in the client profile throughout a work day.
