Systems and methods for managing access to shared network resources
A method for managing access to a shared endpoint of a network is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a user request to access a service associated with the shared endpoint; verifying that a user associated with the user request is authorized to access the service; in response to verifying that the user is authorized to access the service, obtaining a unique session identifier (USID) associated with the user request; receiving, via input from a device associated with the user, an access code; in response to determining that the inputted access code matches the USID, granting access to the service for the user.
1. A processor-implemented method for managing access to a shared endpoint of a network, the method comprising:
receiving a user request to access a service associated with the shared endpoint;
verifying that a user associated with the user request is authorized to access the service, wherein the verifying includes:
transmitting, to an endpoint management server, a request to verify that the user is authorized to access the service; and
receiving, from the endpoint management server, confirmation that the user is authorized to access the service;
in response to verifying that the user is authorized to access the service, obtaining, from the endpoint management server, a unique session identifier (USID) associated with the user request, wherein the USID is sent from the endpoint management server to a device associated with the user;
receiving, via the device associated with the user, an access code;
in response to determining that the access code matches the USID, granting access to the service for the user.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the USID associated with the user request comprises receiving, from the endpoint management server, the USID.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encrypting data associated with the user request using the obtained USID.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a user session item associated with the user request; and
adding the user session item to a database containing active sessions data.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service comprises a task performed at the shared endpoint.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein granting access to the service comprises transmitting an instruction to the shared endpoint to complete the task.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user request includes data associated with the task.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access code is received, by short-range communication, from the device associated with the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the short-range communication comprises NFC or Bluetooth communication.
10. A computing system comprising:
memory;
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to:
receive a user request to access a service associated with a shared endpoint of a network;
verify that a user associated with the user request is authorized to access the service, wherein the verifying includes:
transmitting, to an endpoint management server, a request to verify that the user is authorized to access the service; and
receiving, from the endpoint management server, confirmation that the user is authorized to access the service;
in response to verifying that the user is authorized to access the service, obtain, from the endpoint management server, a unique session identifier (USID) associated with the user request, wherein the USID is sent from the endpoint management server to a device associated with the user;
receive, via the device associated with the user, an access code;
in response to determining that the inputted access code matches the USID, grant access to the service for the user.
11. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein obtaining the USID associated with the user request comprises receiving, from the endpoint management server, the USID.
12. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to encrypt data associated with the user request using the obtained USID.
13. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
generate a user session item associated with the user request; and
add the user session item to a database containing active sessions data.
14. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the service comprises a task performed at the shared endpoint.
15. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein granting access to the service comprises transmitting an instruction to the shared endpoint to complete the task.
16. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein the user request includes data associated with the task.
17. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the access code is received, by short-range communication, from the device.
18. The computing system of claim 17 , wherein the short-range communication comprises NFC or Bluetooth communication.
