  • Secure binding workflow
    Patent number: 10693968
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for binding service credentials to an application. One example system receives a service bind request for an application in a cloud application platform. The service bind request includes a request to bind a service provided by a service host in the cloud application platform. The service bind request specifies (i) an identifier for the service and (ii) a unique identifier for the application. The system receives, from the service host, credentials for the application to access the service. The system provides the credentials to a secure credential hub installed on the cloud application platform. The secure credential hub stores the credentials in association with a credential location identifier. The system grants, to the unique identifier for the application, read access to the credential location identifier. The system stores the credential location identifier as application metadata for the application.
