Patent number: 9769179Abstract: A user credential comprising a user password and a one-time password (OTP) may be provided to access a computing system. The user password is authenticated and the network connection status of the computing system is determined. If the computing system is offline, the user password and the OTP are stored in memory and the user is granted a first level of access to the computing system. Upon detecting that the network connection status of the computing system has changed to online, the user password and the OTP are provided to an authentication server for authentication. If the authentication of the user password and the OTP is successful, the user is granted a second level of access to the computing system, the second level of access being higher than the first level of access.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Dmitri V. Pal, Stephen J. Gallagher

Patent number: 8997116Abstract: An event logging interface on a computer system is used to record an event when an application hosted by the computer system encounters the event. The event logging interface receives data pertaining to an event from the application. Using the event logging interface, the computer system determines a logical target of the event, and determines one or more physical destinations referenced by the logical target. The data is then dispatched to one of the physical destinations.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Dmitri V. Pal, Stephen J. Gallagher, John R. Dennis

Patent number: 8539160Abstract: A method and system to refresh a data entry in a cache before the data entry expires. The system includes a client computing system coupled to a server via a network connection. In response to a request for data access, the client computing system locates a data entry in a cache and determines whether the data entry in the cache has exceeded a refresh timeout since a last update of the data entry. If the data entry in the cache has exceeded the refresh timeout, the client computing system retrieves the data entry found in the cache in response to the request without waiting for the data entry to be refreshed, and requests a refresh of the data entry from the server via the network connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventor: Stephen J. Gallagher
