Techniques to discover services recursively in a distributed environment

摘要

Techniques to recursively discover services in a distributed environment may include receiving a request, including a unique client identifier, from a client device to access a home resource at a services site. The services site may identify which services site is mapped to the client domain of the unique client identifier in the request. If the services site that received the request is not the services site identified by the client domain, the services site that received the request may provide a redirect token that includes a link to the identified services site to the client device. Otherwise, the services site that received the request may provide one or more links to resources in a cluster within the services site. The links to resources may include a link to the requested home resource. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor circuit; a memory unit to store a mapping table; and root logic operative on the processor circuit to:
receive a request from a client device to connect to a home resource, the request including a unique client identifier for a user of the client device;use the mapping table to identify a services site mapped to a client domain of the unique client identifier;provide a link to the identified services site as a redirect token in a response to the client device when the identified services site is different from a services site that includes the apparatus and when authentication of the client device is successful; andprovide a user-resource link in a user token in a response to the client device when the identified services site is the same as a services site that includes the apparatus.
