Abstract
A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a data processing system manage a set of federated log-in authentications at secure web sites. A client logs into a security context using a first alias from a list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases associated with an account. Responsive to logging into the security context, the client can receive the list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases. The client can then manage the list of authentication aliases.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for managing a set of federated log-in authentications at secure web sites, the method comprising:
- logging into a security context using a first alias from a list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases associated with an account;
- responsive to logging into the security context, receiving the list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases;
- and
- managing the list of authentication aliases.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable medium having computer usable program code for managing a set of federated log-in authentications at secure web sites, the computer program product comprising:
- computer usable program code for logging into a security context using a first alias from a list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases associated with an account;
- computer usable program code, responsive to logging into the security context, for receiving the list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases;
- and
- computer usable program code for managing the list of authentication aliases.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a communications unit connected to the bus;
- a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device includes computer usable program code for managing a set of federated log-in authentications at secure web sites;
- and
- a processor unit connected to the bus, wherein the processor unit executes the computer usable program code to log into a security context using a first alias from a list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases associated with an account, responsive to logging into the security context, to receive the list of existing federated single sign-on authentication aliases, and to manage the list of authentication aliases.
