Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a sync gateway and method that synchronizes a mobile application file stored on a client device with mobile application data stored by a host platform. In an example, the method includes receiving, by a gateway, a request for a mobile application from a client device, the request comprising configuration information for the client device to use to interact with a host platform of the mobile application, downloading, by the gateway, mobile application data from the host platform based on the configuration information received from the client device, generating, by the gateway, a mobile application file for the client device based on the mobile application data downloaded from the host platform, and transmitting, by the gateway, the mobile application file to the client device via a network connection.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for fallback operation within WLANs that rely on remote authentication procedures. When a primary network node authentication process fails, fallback access control parameters associated with a secondary network node authentication process are exchanged between a network node and an authentication server, wherein the secondary network node authentication process allows the network node to access other resources of a computer network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the automated configuration of 802.1x clients in wireless computer networks are described. In one embodiment, a wireless network client for a wireless network is configured automatically, by providing (using a software driver installed at either the network client or a remote server) network configuration information to a software client of the wireless network client.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. Included is a bridge capable of communication with a non-wireless capable device and a wireless network. In use, such bridge incorporates security functionality for remotely and automatically securing the non-wireless capable device during use of the wireless network.

Abstract: As part of a network node authentication process access control parameters that define the network node's ability to access other resources accessible through a computer network are provided by an authentication server (e.g., a RADIUS server) to an access point through which the network node is seeking to gain access to the computer network.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a peer-to-peer wireless network is advertised utilizing a granting node. Further, a requesting node is provided for connecting to the peer-to-peer wireless network. Thereafter, such requesting node is redirected to a portal. To this end, a software application is capable of being downloaded to the requesting node via the peer-to-peer wireless network utilizing the portal.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a first key is exchanged between a granting node and a requesting node via a peer-to-peer wireless network. Further, a human-perceptible hash is generated at the granting node and the requesting node, utilizing the first key. Such human-perceptible hashes are then compared via an out-of-band communication channel. To this end, a second key may then be transmitted to the requesting node for providing access to a centrally-based wireless network.

Abstract: As part of a network node authentication process, a MAC address or other globally unique identifier of an access point through which the network node will access a computer network is transmitted in an EAP or other authentication message to an authentication server to uniquely identify the access point to the authentication server.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a key is distributed to a plurality of nodes of a wireless network for use in securing the nodes during use of the wireless network. Further, the key is automatically updated at the nodes in the wireless network based on predetermined criteria.

Abstract: Systems, methods, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and computer readable media for providing information related to a compensation plan for an enterprise. A view of a portion of a compensation plan developed by a compensation planning application is presented and includes a hyperlink. The hyperlink is associated with information related to the compensation plan, but stored separately from the compensation planning application, for example as part of a global rewards library. In response to receipt of a selection of the hyperlink, a view of the information associated with the hyperlink is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a compensation plan for an enterprise include core invariant modules and a plurality of dynamic modules. Enterprise-specific data is manipulated according to a set of enterprise-specific and enterprise-agnostic rules for compensation planning to calculate elements of the compensation plan, and those elements are presented for user review and modification according to view templates. As modifications are made to previously calculated elements of the compensation plan, the plan is recomputed and the effect of the modifications presented.

Abstract: A compensation plan budget is validated for each of a plurality of compensation planners within an enterprise. Each of the compensation planners has an individually allocable sub-budget of the overall compensation plan budget. During periods when a compensation planning application used by the compensation planners is otherwise idle, accumulated totals for compensation packages allocated by these compensation planners are determined. These accumulated totals for the compensation packages allocated by the compensation planners as so determined are compared with stored versions of the accumulated totals for the compensation packages. The stored versions of the accumulated totals are those having been computed by the compensation planning application.

Abstract: An access point to be installed in a wireless network is automatically discovered and associated with an authentication center adapted to provide remote authentication services for the wireless network. This may be accomplished by executing an address resolution protocol scan of nodes on the wireless network and identifying from the scan results the access point to be installed. Configuration information regarding the access point is then transmitted to the authentication center and the access point is configured to use the authentication center for 802.1x authentication services for the wireless network.

Abstract: As part of a network node authentication process access control parameters that define the network node's ability to access other resources accessible through a computer network are provided by an authentication server (e.g., a RADIUS server) to an access point through which the network node is seeking to gain access to the computer network.

Abstract: A data processing system including a method and apparatus for controlling software configurations. A plurality of software programs and routines are stored in a mass storage device. Which software accessed by the system is controlled by non-volatile information stored in the system. The system also includes a portable media storage device, such as a floppy disk drive, and fixed information which loads a preselected portion of the portable media into the system. Two portable media are also provided. The preselected portion of the first portable media contains a bootstrap program which loads an operating system into the system. The preselected portion of the second portable media contains a program for altering the non-volatile information stored in the system so as to change the software configuration which may be accessed by the system. The program then erases the preselected portion of the second portable media after execution.

Abstract: A circuit for controlling attributes of a plurality of characters on a display.
