Embodiment Construction

[0026] Examples of methods, apparatus, and computer programs for an ID unification gateway are disclosed. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It is apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details or with an equivalent arrangement. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the embodiments of the invention.

[0027] Here, the term "network resource" refers to any service or data structure or communication link available through a connection to a network. "Single Sign-On" (SSO) process refers to any process by a single provider that enables a user to access multiple network resources from that provider during one session of connection to the network without requiring identif...

Abstract

Techniques for an ID federation gateway include determining whether a user associated with a request for a particular network resource is to be identified by the provider of the particular service or by a different party. The service also comprises causing the different party to provide identification data that indicates an identity for the user, if the user is to be identified by the different party. The method further comprises causing user credentials data, based on the identification data, to be sent to an authentication process of the provider for a set of one or more network resources that includes the particular network resource requested by the user, if the data indicates that the user is successfully identified.

Description

Background technique [0001] Network service providers and device manufacturers are constantly challenged to communicate value and convenience to consumers by, for example, offering a compelling suite of network services. Custom web services include authenticating users during user login processing. However, when a user is required to log in multiple times to participate in several services available at the same network or service provider, network resources are wasted and user experience is degraded. Therefore, there is an incentive to allow a user to log in once and thereby gain access to several services from the same provider. [0002] Federated identity or identity "federation" refers to technologies, standards and use cases for enabling portability of identity information between different automated security domains, eg, different providers. The ultimate goal of identity federation is to enable users in one domain to securely and seamlessly access data or systems in ano...
