Abstract
Providing a mobile device with web-based access to data objects is disclosed. Authentication information is sent from a mobile device to a relay server. The relay server executes a connection application to establish a connection to a web access server. The authentication information is provided to the web access server associated with a data store hosting a data object. Upon authentication, the data object is provided to the relay server from the data store. The data object is then provided to the mobile device.
Claims2
A relay server for providing email access via a web access server, the relay server comprising:
- a memory configured to host a connection application;
- a processor configured to execute the connection application to connect to the web access server to allow for machine-to-machine communication between the relay server and a data store via the web access server;
- and
- a network interface configured to receive from a mobile device a request to remotely access a data object hosted at the data store;
- wherein the network interface is further configured to exchange the data object requested by the mobile device, wherein the requested data object includes email.
A method of providing a mobile device web-based access to a data object, the method comprising:
- establishing, by a relay server, a connection to a web access server associated with the application server;
- enabling access of the relay server to the data object hosted by the application server in response to authentication of access to the application server;
- and
- receiving, by the relay server, keep-alives from the mobile device to maintain connectivity between the mobile device and the relay server.
