Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for eliminating multiple submission of user credential data in a system with multiple distinct restricted sub-systems wherein a unique credential is required for each sub-system.
Claims20
A method for eliminating multiple submission of user credential data in a system with multiple distinct restricted services wherein a unique credential is required for each service, said method comprising:
- a) receiving user sign-on credentials, from a user via an imaging device (IDev);
- b) authenticating said sign-on credentials;
- c) requesting a single-sign-on token from a single-sign-on server application (SSOSA), when said sign-on credentials authenticate successfully, said single-sign-on token being related to user service credential data stored on said SSOSA;
- d) receiving said single-sign-on token from said SSOSA;
- and
- e) sending said single-sign-on (SSO) token to said imaging device (IDev).
A method for providing single-credential access to multiple, distinct, restricted services wherein a unique credential is required for each service, said method comprising:
- a) receiving user sign-on credentials, from a user via an imaging device (IDev);
- b) authenticating said sign-on credentials;
- c) receiving a single-sign-on token from a single-sign-on server application (SSOSA), when said sign-on credentials authenticate successfully, said single-sign-on token being related to user service credential data stored on said SSOSA;
- and
- d) sending said single-sign-on (SSO) token to said imaging device (IDev).
A method for eliminating multiple submission of user credential data in a system with multiple, distinct, restricted services wherein a unique credential is required for each service, said method comprising:
- a) authenticating user sign-on credentials for a user;
- b) requesting a single-sign-on token from a single-sign-on server application (SSOSA), when said sign-on credentials authenticate successfully, said single-sign-on token being related to user service credential data stored on said SSOSA, wherein a service may authenticate said user by exchanging said single-sign-on token in exchange for said user's credential data for said service at said SSOSA;
- and
- c) receiving said single-sign-on token from said SSOSA.
