Abstract
An authentication and authorization integration system with the heterogeneous cloud platforms is proposed herein. The system packs various authentication and authorization information to issue a general token to carry the session. During the statutory period of the general token, the heterogeneous cloud platforms authenticate the user through the token instead of the session authentication of platform to avoid the complexity caused by repeating authentication to integrate these heterogeneous platforms into an architecture of micro service and stateless session.
Claims7
An authentication and authorization integration system with the heterogeneous cloud platforms, comprising
- a management interface used by a user portal for managing heterogeneous cloud platforms;
- a database is used to store authentication information of the heterogeneous cloud platforms;
- a platform registration module is used to retrieve the authentication information of the heterogeneous cloud platforms from the database;
- a tokens collector used to collect tokens of the heterogeneous cloud platforms through the platform registration module, wherein the tokens are used to carry the authentication information and the platform information;
- a general Token publisher is used to issue a general Token, including to encrypt the tokens from the tokens collector, to pack the tokens in to a payload and issue the payload;
- and
- an API authentication interface is used to retrieve the general Token when receiving a request for services.
