Abstract

Techniques for managing content of a virtual workspace include receiving a request from a remote client for client-configuration settings, the remote client associated with a particular user; identifying a set of client-specific attributes associated with the remote client; identifying a set of user-specific attributes associated with the particular user; determining client-configuration settings for the remote client based at least in part on the identified client-specific attributes and the identified user-specific attributes; and transmitting the determined client-configuration settings to the remote client.

Claims (66)

1 . A computer-implemented method for managing content of a virtual workspace, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a remote client for client-configuration settings, the remote client associated with a particular user;

identifying a set of client-specific attributes associated with the remote client;

identifying a set of user-specific attributes associated with the particular user;

determining client-configuration settings for the remote client based at least in part on the identified client-specific attributes and the identified user-specific attributes; and

transmitting the determined client-configuration settings to the remote client.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the received request includes at least one of the remote client's identification, the remote client's location, or the particular user's identification.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying client-specific attributes comprises accessing an enterprise systems catalog.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of client-specific attributes comprises at least one of location, client type, or installed software, and the set of user-specific attributes comprises at least one of user role or user password.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the client-configuration settings include at least one of personal user settings, certificates, passwords, favorites, or navigation history.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by an administrator, and a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by the particular user.

7 . The computer implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a notification of at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the user;

updating the client-configuration settings; and

storing the updated client-configuration settings.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the administrator;

updating the client-configuration settings;

storing the updated client-configuration settings; and

in response to a second request from the remote client for client-configuration settings, transmitting the updated client-configuration settings.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

setting the client-configuration settings at the remote client with the received transmitted client-configuration settings.

10 . A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a remote client for client-configuration settings, the remote client associated with a particular user;

identifying a set of client-specific attributes associated with the remote client;

identifying a set of user-specific attributes associated with the particular user;

determining client-configuration settings for the remote client based at least in part on the identified client-specific attributes and the identified user-specific attributes; and

transmitting the determined client-configuration settings to the remote client.

11 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the received request includes at least one of the remote client's identification, the remote client's location, or the particular user's identification.

12 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein identifying client-specific attributes comprises accessing an enterprise systems catalog.

13 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the set of client-specific attributes comprises at least one of location, client type, or installed software, and the set of user-specific attributes comprises at least one of user role or user password.

14 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the client-configuration settings include at least one of personal user settings, certificates, passwords, favorites, or navigation history.

15 . The computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by an administrator, and a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by the particular user.

16 . The computer storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a notification of at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the user;

updating the client-configuration settings; and

storing the updated client-configuration settings.

17 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the administrator;

updating the client-configuration settings;

storing the updated client-configuration settings; and

in response to a second request from the remote client for client-configuration settings, transmitting the updated client-configuration settings.

18 . The computer storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

setting the client-configuration settings at the remote client with the received transmitted client-configuration settings.

19 . A system of one or more computers configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a remote client for client-configuration settings, the remote client associated with a particular user;

identifying a set of client-specific attributes associated with the remote client;

identifying a set of user-specific attributes associated with the particular user;

determining client-configuration settings for the remote client based at least in part on the identified client-specific attributes and the identified user-specific attributes; and

transmitting the determined client-configuration settings to the remote client.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the received request includes at least one of the remote client's identification, the remote client's location, or the particular user's identification.

21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein identifying client-specific attributes comprises accessing an enterprise systems catalog.

22 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the set of client-specific attributes comprises at least one of location, client type, or installed software, and the set of user-specific attributes comprises at least one of user role or user password.

23 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the client-configuration settings include at least one of personal user settings, certificates, passwords, favorites, or navigation history.

24 . The system of claim 23 , wherein a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by an administrator, and a portion of the set of the client-configuration settings is defined by the particular user.

25 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a notification of at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the user;

updating the client-configuration settings; and

storing the updated client-configuration settings.

26 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving at least one change to the client-configuration settings from the administrator;

updating the client-configuration settings;

storing the updated client-configuration settings; and

in response to a second request from the remote client for client-configuration settings, transmitting the updated client-configuration settings.

27 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise:

setting the client-configuration settings at the remote client with the received transmitted client-configuration settings.
