One disclosed aspect of the present invention includes authentication and user account automation within a compute cluster for each cluster node that requires password or other credential administration. For example, a storage appliance computing system may rely on a plurality of subsystems (such as databases, storage management software, and application servers) that each have internal user accounts with associated passwords and credential keys that need to be changed at frequent intervals. Rather than requiring an administrator to manually manage all of these accounts, the presently described invention includes techniques and an authentication manager component to automatically manage, update, and refresh authentication information as required. Further, the authentication manager component may be used to perform and propagate automatic credential changes such as new sets of SSH keys or updated passwords as required within a computing system, and respond to new nodes or out-of-sync credentialing scenarios.

The present invention is a computer-based review and quality assurance system and method for physicians who use portable imaging technology to diagnose and treat patients at a point of care.

Methods and systems taught herein allow mobile device manufacturers to preconfigure mobile devices for subscription with any network operator having access to a centralized device directory server. The directory server stores device records, each including a preliminary subscription identity. Manufacturers individually provision new mobile devices with these preliminary subscription identities, and network operators preliminarily register subscribers by submitting requests to the directory server that cause it to link individual device records with the appropriate credential server addresses. Mobile devices gain temporary network access by submitting their preliminary subscription identities, which get passed along to the directory server for verification. In turn, the directory server generates authentication vectors giving the mobile devices temporary network access, and returns the appropriate credential server addresses. The mobile devices use the address information to submit secure requests for permanent subscription credentials, and the involved credential servers securely return permanent subscription credentials responsive to valid requests.

A method and system for registering, credentialing, rating, trending, monitoring and cataloging businesses, organizations, and individuals. The applicant business, organization, or individual clicks to a computer server to begin the registration process for the benefit of the applicant and its customer. The server system receives the request for registration and requests contact information, product category codes, and other details and payment information from the applicant. The applicant's details are then used to aggregate other electronic records to determine applicant's suitability. The details and records are then rated based on predetermined thresholds to provide an acceptability score for the applicant. The applicant may return to the computer server to log-in to view and edit the applicant's details pursuant to a subscription agreement. The customer may then also log-in to view all details of registered vendors, sorted according to various options. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the internet acts as the computer network described.

Methods and systems taught herein allow communication device manufacturers to preconfigure communication devices to use preliminary access credentials to gain temporary network access for downloading subscription credentials, and particularly allow the network operator issuing the subscription credentials to verify that individual devices requesting credentials are trusted. In one or more embodiments, a credentialing server is owned or controlled by the network operator, and is used by the network operator to verify that subscription credentials are issued only to trusted communication devices, even though such devices may be referred to the credentialing server by an external registration server and may be provisioned by an external provisioning server. Particularly, the credentialing server interrogates requesting devices for their device certificates and submits these device certificates to an external authorization server, e.g., an independent OCSP server, for verification. A common Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) may be used for operator and device certificates.

The update-caches are updated when applications are installed, removed or patched inside particular isolated environment and when the operating system is patched or updated. The system may include authentication of the streaming servers and authentication of clients and credentialing of the isolated environments and applications the clients are configured to run. The system may further include encrypted communication between the streaming servers and the clients. The system may further include a management interface where administrators may add, remove and configure isolated environments, configure client policies and credentials, and force upgrades. The streamed isolated environments may be isolated from other applications and the host operating system on the clients and applications within the isolated environments may run without performing an application-installation on the client.

A MSP platform provides contingent healthcare worker recruiting and shift assignation in a multilayered process of job order broadcasting, competency matching, proposals from healthcare agencies aka vendors, screening, compliance management, and onboard of each candidate. Each staff profile submitted has to go through multilayered review, approval, and orientation process. Additionally, each healthcare worker's calendar, credential, and compliance have to be managed across multiple employers to prevent scheduling conflict and compliance violations, and guaranteeing full visibility of all healthcare workers across the entire supply chain. MSPs (Managed Service Providers) have the ability to service a large number of facilities on whose behalf the MSPs generate job orders for contingent workforce, and manage fulfillment using suppliers (aka vendors) mapped to the facility being serviced. The supplier ecosystem is a cohesive block that may be shared across all MSPs, and several such MSP ecosystems should be allowed to coexist in the system. Suppliers can be tiered by geography allowing a large vendor network to track demand from one or more healthcare facilities across a single location or a group of vendor locations. Additionally, a facility that is part of an MSP should also be able to work directly with all suppliers either in conjunction with or independent of an MSP. Both long term assignments referred to as ‘Travel’ position, and on-demand shift assignments referred to as ‘Day-to-day’ position are serviceable under this centrally available software commonly referred to as ‘Software as a Service’.
