  • Patent number: 10909228
    Abstract: Systems for collaboration system application authentication. A collaboration system identifies a downloadable application that comprises at least one operation that functions only after obtaining user authentication credentials. The application is configured to invoke one of a plurality of different authentication procedures based on a set of server-provided authentication style parameters. After establishing a connection between an application server that interfaces with the user device that runs the application, the collaboration system determines the set of authentication style parameters, wherein the determination is based at least in part on an identification of the user device or based at least in part on an identification of a user of the user device. The application server sends at least a portion of the set of authentication style parameters to the user device.

  • Patent number: 9602514
    Abstract: A non-SDK based scalable technology for integrating multiple mobile device management (MDM) service providers into a content provider platform (or server) is described herein. More specifically, the technology described herein facilitates enterprise mobility management through verification of a managed application associated with an enterprise via the content provider platform. In some embodiments, the content provider platform comprises a cloud-based collaboration and/or storage environment (“cloud-based platform server”) that prevents an unmanaged application from gaining access to the cloud-based collaboration and/or storage server.
