Emulation Of Federative Authentication

摘要

A method for emulating authentication federation between a source domain and a target domain. A user in the source domain wishes to gain access to a target application in the target domain. The target application needs to receive authorized user credentials. The target domain includes an Authentication Federation Emulator having a relationship between a Request Acceptance Token and user credentials associated with a specific user. After having obtained the Request Acceptance Token from a federation site of the target domain, the user accesses the Authentication Federation Emulator for obtaining the corresponding user credentials and sends them to the target application.

1. Method of emulating authentication federation between a source domain and a target domain capable of communicating electronic messages to each other;
wherein the target domain comprises a target application and a target federation site; wherein the target application is associated with a credentials memory containing authorized user credentials; wherein the user needs to provide his specific user credentials to the target application in order to obtain access; wherein the source domain comprises a source federation site and a user's workstation wishing to gain access to the target application; wherein the source federation site comprises a user memory containing per user a relationship between authorized user source credentials and an Authentication Confirmation Token for use in target domain; wherein the target federation site comprises a federation memory containing per user a relationship between Authentication Confirmation Token for use by source domain and a Request Acceptance Token; wherein the method comprises the steps of:
providing an Authentication Federation Emulator that comprises an emulator memory containing per user a relationship between the Request Acceptance Token of federation memory and the user credentials of credentials memory.
