Abstract: An identity management system may utilize an authentication server for secure contextual information retrieval for authentication messaging. The authentication server may receive, from an application, a request to initiate an authentication procedure associated with an interaction by a user with the application. The authentication server may then transmit, to the user, a request to authenticate the interaction that includes an identifier for contextual information associated with the interaction. The authentication server may further receive, from the user, a request for the contextual information that includes the identifier for the contextual information. In response, the authentication server may transmit, to the user, the contextual information based on the previous request including the identifier for the contextual information. The authentication server then may receive, from the user, an indication of whether the interaction at the application is authenticated.

Abstract: A user of an identity management system may configure a software agent with a set of parameters within one or more user interfaces of an agent management service. The set of parameters may include an identifier of an application programming interface (API) endpoint of a first service that the software agent is authorized to query and one or more permissions associated with queries to the API endpoint by the software agent. Further, the user may receive an authentication token for the software agent from the agent management service. The software agent may use the authentication token for accessing resources of the service via the API endpoint in accordance with the one or more permissions. Thus, the user may configure the first software agent with the authentication token to enable the software agent to perform the queries to the API endpoint of the first service.
