APPARATUS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL-TIME MIGRATION OF DATA RELATED TO AUTHENTICATION

摘要

The present invention facilitates deploying a new authentication protocol in an established application environment (100). In one embodiment, an authentication credential (125) is intercepted by a migration module (270) that determines whether data associated with the specified account needs to be migrated from an established server (150) to a target authentication server (160). A binding module (280) may redirect authentication credentials (125) intended for the established server to the migration module. In one embodiment, new user accounts may be added on the target authentication server (160), if specified by configuration options. Data associated with user accounts such as titles, telephone numbers, addresses, or the like may be migrated from the established server (150) to the target server (160) with the authentication data.
