IDENTITY PROTOCOL TRANSLATION GATEWAY

摘要

One or more methods of translating identity protocols and a device and a system implementing such methods are described herein. One such method comprises configuring a gateway to communicate with a first identity protocol and a canonical representation, with the canonical representation being different than the first identity protocol. The method may further comprise: including the first identity protocol in a first communication between a first computing device and the gateway, and translating at least a portion of the first communication from the first identity protocol to a canonical representation. The gateway may then translate the at least a portion of the first communication from the canonical representation to a second identity protocol and sending the first communication to a second computing device, including the first identity information in the second identity protocol in the communication.

1. A method of translating identity protocols comprising,
configuring a gateway to communicate with a first device implementing a first identity protocol; configuring the gateway to communicate with a second device implementing a second identity protocol, wherein the second identity protocol is different than the first identity protocol; including the first identity protocol in a first communication between the first computing device and the gateway, wherein the first communication comprises first identity information; translating the first identity information from the first identity protocol to a canonical representation; translating the first identity information from the canonical representation to the second identity protocol; and sending the first identity information to the second computing device, wherein the second identity protocol comprises the first identity information.
