Secure web application delivery platform
View Patent ↗A network service, program product and method that manages secure web application delivery. A service is disclosed that includes an interface configured to receive a request for a secure web application from a plug-in integrated into a web browser on a client computing device, wherein the request further includes a user credential token. Also included is a token processor that evaluates the user credential token and determines an associated customer domain server provided by a back-end service and a transport service that establishes a secure channel with the customer domain server, and forwards the request to the associated customer domain server and receives back a text-based data package. Once generated, the text-based data package is forwarded to the plug-in in response to the request.
1. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive a request for an application from a plug-in integrated into a web browser, wherein the request further includes a user credential token;
evaluate the user credential token and, based on the evaluated user credential token, select a server corresponding to the user credential token from a set of servers;
establish a secure channel with the selected server, forward the request to the selected server, and receive back a text-based data package from the selected service; and
forward the text-based data package to the plug-in in response to the request.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the text-based data package includes HTML (Hypertext markup language), a DOM (document object model), and JavaScript that can be utilized by the web browser to render the secure web application.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the DOM includes styles associated with a DOM tree.
4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a list of applications that cause the system to redirect requests.
5. The system of claim 1 , further configured to receive an HTTP request from the plug-in for a subsequent interaction with the application, wherein the HTTP request includes the user credential token.
6. The system of claim 5 , further configured to:
forward the HTTP request to the selected server; and
receive back an updated text-based package from the selected server.
7. The system of claim 6 , further configured to forward the updated text-based package back to the plug-in.
8. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive a request for a web application from a plug-in integrated into a web browser on a client computing device, wherein the request further includes a user credential token;
evaluate the user credential token and, based on the evaluated user credential token, select a server corresponding to the user credential token from a set of servers provided by a back-end service;
establish a channel with the selected server, forward the request to the selected server, and receive back a text-based data package from the selected server;
forward the text-based data package to the plug-in in response to the request; and
render the text-based data package in the web browser.
9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a list of applications that cause the plug-in to redirect requests.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the text-based data package includes HTML (Hypertext markup language), a DOM (document object model), and JavaScript.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the DOM includes styles associated with a DOM tree.
12. The system of claim 8 , further configured to receive an HTTP request from the plug-in for a subsequent interaction with the application, wherein the HTTP request includes the user credential token.
13. The system of claim 12 , further configured to:
forward the HTTP request to the selected server; and
receive back an updated text-based package from the selected server.
14. The system of claim 13 , further configured to:
forward the updated text-based package back to the plug-in; and
render the updated text-based package in the web browser.
15. A computerized system configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a web application from a plug-in integrated into a web browser on a client computing device;
receiving a user credential token with the request;
evaluating the user credential token and, based on the evaluated user credential token, selecting a server corresponding to the user credential token from a set of servers;
establishing a secure channel with the selected server and forwarding the request to the selected server;
forwarding a text-based data package from the selected server to the plug-in in response to the request; and
rendering the text-based data package in the web browser.
16. The computerized system of claim 15 , wherein the text-based data package includes HTML (Hypertext markup language), a DOM (document object model) and JavaScript, and wherein the DOM includes styles associated with a DOM tree.
17. The computerized system of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises receiving an HTTP request from the plug-in for a subsequent interaction with the web application, wherein the HTTP request includes the user credential token.
18. The computerized system of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises:
forwarding the HTTP request to the selected customer domain server; and
receiving an updated text-based package from the selected customer domain server in response to the HTTP request.
19. The computerized system of claim 18 , wherein the method further comprises forwarding the updated text-based package back to the plug-in.
20. The computerized system of claim 19 , wherein the method further comprises rendering the updated text-based data package in the web browser.
