Detection And Repair Of Broken Single Sign-On Integration

Abstract

An identity management system provides single sign-on (SSO) services to clients, logging the clients into a variety of third-party services for which the clients have accounts. An SSO integration is stored for each of the third-party services, the SSO integration including information that allows the identity management system to automate the login for the corresponding third-party service, such as locations of the login pages, and/or identities of username and password fields. The identity management system uses different techniques in different embodiments to detect that a given SSO integration is broken (i.e., no longer permits login for its corresponding third-party service) and/or to repair the SSO integration.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
