Abstract
The present invention provides a new syndication system allowing secure syndication of applications in conventional web aggregators of authorized users, and allowing secured and controlled access to privileged content by means of the syndicated applications. The system of the invention advantageously employs conventional web syndication servers and aggregators thereby allowing authorized users to securely add applications and access privileged content via their favorable web aggregation sites (e.g., personalized web pages) along with other non-privileged content syndicated therein.
Claims19
A syndication system for securely adding syndicated applications to conventional syndication aggregation sites and servers being accessible by user's client applications, comprising:
- an application server adapted to provide said syndicated applications to said client applications of authenticated users, one or more secured communication links between said client applications and said application server, and a provisioning server capable of generating and providing said syndication aggregation sites an application wrapper responsive to a request from user's client application, wherein said request and said application wrapper comprise unique identifiers referencing the requested application and the user requesting the applications.
A method for securely adding a syndicated application to user's aggregation site maintained in an aggregation site server and being accessible by a user client application, comprising:
- providing said client application addressing data comprising a link to a provisioning server and identifiers associated with said user and with said syndicated application;
- providing said aggregation site server a request to add said syndicated application, wherein said request comprises said addressing data and said identifiers;
- forwarding said request to said provisioning server;
- upon receipt of said request by said provisioning sever generating an application wrapper comprising said identifiers and addressing data referencing a location of said syndicated application in an application server;
- providing said application wrapper to said aggregation site server;
- and determining whether said user is an authorized user, and if so adding said application wrapper to said aggregation site, thereby allowing said client application to fetch said syndicated application over a secured link connecting it to said application server, according to the data contained in said application wrapper.
