Establishing and maintaining an improved single sign-on (SSO) facility
View Patent ↗A client system associated with a user includes at least one hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations. A modified login page is received from a proxy hardware system. An asynchronous engine is loaded by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page. A login process with an authentication profiling service is executed, using the asynchronous engine, to retrieve login information for a back-end server. The authentication process with the back-end server is completed using the asynchronous engine. The modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.
1. A client system associated with a user, comprising:
at least one hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations:
receiving, from a proxy hardware system, a modified login page;
loading, by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page, an asynchronous engine;
executing, using the asynchronous engine, a login process with an authentication profiling service to retrieve login information for a back-end server;
completing, using the asynchronous engine, the authentication process with the back-end server, wherein
the modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.
2. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is an AJAX engine.
3. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a user ID and password for the back-end server.
4. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a plurality of user IDs and passwords, respectively, for a plurality of back-end servers.
5. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is further configured to update a password of the user on the back-end server responsive to a request by the user.
6. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the authentication process is completed without the proxy hardware system after the routine is added to the login page.
7. The client system of claim 1 , wherein
the authentication process is a federated single sign-on process.
8. A computer program product, comprising:
a computer readable storage device having stored therein computer readable program code that, when executed by a client system associated with a user, causes a computer hardware processor to perform:
receiving, from a proxy hardware system, a modified login page;
loading, by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page, an asynchronous engine;
executing, using the asynchronous engine, a login process with an authentication profiling service to retrieve login information for a back-end server;
completing, using the asynchronous engine, the authentication process with the back-end server, wherein
the modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.
9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is an AJAX engine.
10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a user ID and password for the back-end server.
11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a plurality of user IDs and passwords, respectively, for a plurality of back-end servers.
12. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is further configured to update a password of the user on the back-end server responsive to a request by the user.
13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein
the authentication process is completed without the proxy hardware system after the routine is added to the login page.
14. A computer-implemented method executed by a client system associated with a user, comprising:
receiving, from a proxy hardware system, a modified login page;
loading, by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page, an asynchronous engine;
executing, using the asynchronous engine, a login process with an authentication profiling service to retrieve login information for a back-end server;
completing, using the asynchronous engine, the authentication process with the back-end server, wherein
the modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is an AJAX engine.
16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a user ID and password for the back-end server.
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the authentication profiling service is configured to store, for the user, a plurality of user IDs and passwords, respectively, for a plurality of back-end servers.
18. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the asynchronous engine is further configured to update a password of the user on the back-end server responsive to a request by the user.
19. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the authentication process is completed without the proxy hardware system after the routine is added to the login page.
20. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein
the authentication process is a federated single sign-on process.
