Cloud based application account management
View Patent ↗An aspect provides a method, including: receiving at a remote device a client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device; determining the client device is not associated with the client log in; issuing an instruction to unbind at least one client device application log in credential and bind a cloud client log in credential to the at least one client device application; and providing an instruction to unbind the cloud client log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a remote device, a user client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device;
determining, based on the receiving, the client device is not associated with the user client log in by determining a client device application log in credential is not associated with the user client log in received at the remote device;
thereafter issuing an instruction to unbind a client device application log in credential of another user account and bind a cloud user log in credential to at least one client device application;
providing an instruction to unbind the cloud user log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied; and
thereafter automatically re-binding the client device application log in credential to at least one client device application to return the client device application to a previous log in state.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one predetermined criteria is receipt of a client log out request at the remote device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one predetermined criteria is a time based validity threshold being exceeded.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instruction to unbind the client device application log in credential and bind a cloud user log in credential is policy based.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the client device application log in credential to unbind is selected based on a policy.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the policy indicates that certain client device applications are not to be unbound by the instruction.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the certain client device applications that are not to be unbound comprise at least a cloud data synchronization application.
8. An information handling device, comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors that stores instructions executable by the one or more processors to:
receive at a remote device, a user client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device;
determine, based on the user client log in received, the client device is not associated with the user client log in by a determination that a client device application log in credential is not associated with the user client log in received at the remote device;
thereafter issue an instruction to unbind a client device application log in credential of another user account and bind a cloud user log in credential to the at least one client device application;
provide an instruction to unbind the cloud user log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied; and
thereafter automatically re-bind the client device application log in credential to at least one client device application to return the client device application to a previous log in state.
9. The information handling device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one predetermined criteria is receipt of a client log out request at the remote device.
10. The information handling device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one predetermined criteria is a time based validity threshold being exceeded.
11. The information handling device of claim 8 , wherein the instruction to unbind the client device application log in credential and bind a cloud user log in credential is policy based.
12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the client device application log in credential to unbind is selected based on a policy.
13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the policy indicates that certain client device applications are not to be unbound by the instruction.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the certain client device applications that are not to be unbound comprise at least a cloud data synchronization application.
15. The information handling device of claim 8 , wherein the information handling device is a cloud computing device connected to the client device via a network connection.
16. A program product, comprising:
a storage device having computer program code embodied therewith, the computer program code being executable by a processor and comprising:
computer program code that receives at a remote device, a user client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device;
computer program code that determines, based on the receipt of the client log in from the client device, the client device is not associated with the user client log in by determining a client device application log in credential is not associated with the user client log in received at the remote device;
computer program code that thereafter issues an instruction to unbind a client device application log in credential of another user account and bind a cloud user log in credential to the at least one client device application;
computer program code that provides an instruction to unbind the cloud user log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied; and
computer program code that thereafter automatically re-binds the client device application log in credential to at least one client device application to return the client device application to a previous log in state.
