Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium is provided. According to an embodiment, a method includes, receiving a message from a client. The method further includes, forwarding the message to a first service when the message includes an authentication token, where the authentication token indicates that the client can access the first service. The method further includes, forwarding the message to a second service when the message excludes the authentication token. The receiving the message from the client and the forwarding the message to the first service occur over a confidential channel.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- receiving a message from a client;
- forwarding the message to a first service when the message comprises an authentication token, wherein the authentication token indicates that the client can access the first service;
- and
- forwarding the message to a second service when the message excludes the authentication token,
- wherein the receiving the message from the client, and the forwarding the message to the first service occur over a confidential channel
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions stored on the memory,
- wherein the processor is further configured, when executing the instructions stored on the memory, to,
- receive a message from a client,
- forward the message to a first service when the message comprises an authentication token, wherein the authentication token indicates that the client can access the first service, and
- forward the message to a second service when the message excludes the authentication token, and
- wherein the processor is further configured, when executing the instructions stored on the memory, to receive a message from the client, and to forward the message to the first service over a confidential channel
A computer readable medium having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a message from a client;
- forwarding the message to a first service when the message comprises an authentication token, wherein the authentication token indicates that the client can access the first service;
- and
- forwarding the message to a second service when the message excludes the authentication token,
- wherein the receiving the message from the client, and the forwarding the message to the first service occur over a confidential channel
