Abstract

A first request is received for generation of a temporary alternate identifier for a user, wherein the user is identified within a service using a user service identifier, and wherein the temporary alternate identifier assists in binding the user service identifier with a resource identifier that identifies the user within a resource. The temporary alternate identifier is then generated and associated with the user service identifier. The temporary alternate identifier is then provided the user, and the temporary alternate identifier is also provided by the user to the resource. A second request is received, from the resource, for validation of the temporary alternate identifier. The user resource identifier is also received from the resource, for example as part of the second request. The user service identifier is then bound with the user resource identifier. Additionally, an indication is provided, to the resource, that the temporary alternate identifier is valid.
