Connection Management Service for Resource Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of connecting diverse resources due to their exponential permutations and the need for resource-specific authorization often results in a cumbersome and delayed process, requiring trial and error and trained personnel.
Innovation Solution
A connection management service that allows users to activate a connection management application to create and manage connections between resources, authenticates users, and negotiates secure connections using identifiers and connection data, with the ability to engage third parties for completion if necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual connection configuration is performed by trained personnel using trial and error, then connection reliability can be achieved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically discovering available connections and preparing connection configurations before user initiation. The connection management service pre-establishes knowledge about resource availability, connection types, and authorization requirements, so that when a user requests a connection, the system can quickly present pre-validated options rather than requiring manual trial and error configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection management service enables self-service by automatically performing tasks that previously required trained personnel. The system autonomously discovers resources, determines connection feasibility, negotiates authorization, and configures connections without human intervention. This automation maintains connection reliability through systematic validation while eliminating the time loss associated with manual expert configuration and trial-and-error approaches.
2Reliability
If resource-specific authorization is obtained through manual processes, then secure connections can be established, but the process experiences delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authorization checks and resource discovery before connection requests are initiated. The connection management service pre-negotiates authorization with resources, so that when a connection is needed, the authorization pathway is already established or quickly identifiable. This maintains security through systematic authorization validation while improving productivity by eliminating delays associated with manual authorization negotiation.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection management service acts as an intermediary between users and resources, handling the complex authorization negotiation process. Rather than requiring users to manually obtain resource-specific authorization, the service autonomously communicates with resources to establish authorization pathways. This maintains secure connections through proper authorization protocols while significantly improving connection creation speed by automating the intermediary negotiation process.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive connection information is collected through scanning and authentication, then connection accuracy is improved, but the process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection management service provides multi-functionality by integrating resource discovery, identification scanning, authentication, authorization negotiation, and connection configuration into a single unified system. Rather than requiring separate tools and manual processes for each function, the service performs all these tasks through one interface, improving measurement precision through systematic information collection while managing complexity through integration rather than proliferation of separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically executing the entire connection establishment process including scanning for resources, collecting identification information, validating credentials, negotiating authorization, and configuring connections. This automation improves resource identification accuracy through systematic data collection and validation while managing complexity by encapsulating the complex processes within an autonomous service that presents a simple user interface.
Data Source
AI summary
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for connection management service. A server computer can detect a request to create a connection between a first resource and a second resource. The first resource can be in a proximity of a computing device and the second resource may not be in a proximity of the computing device. The request can be triggered by a requestor. Authentication of the requestor can be triggered, and identification of the first resource can be obtained. The identification of the first resource can be obtained from the computing device. Connection information for the connection between the first resource and the second resource can be obtained and creation of the connection using the connection information can be triggered.
