US 2024/0205227 A1 · SYNCHRONIZING A USER'S AUTHENTICATION STATE ACROSS MULTIPLE DATA CENTERS USING EVENT MESSAGES

Abstract

Techniques for synchronizing the authentication state of a user across data centers using event messages are provided herein. In one example, a system can determine a first change in the authentication state, update a first data structure representing the authentication state in a first data center based on the change, and store a first event message indicating the first change in a message queue. The system can then transmit the first event message to a second data center. Based on the event message, the second data center can update a second data structure also representing the authentication state of the user. In some examples, the second data center can also transmit a second event message to the first data center indicating a second change to the authentication state of the user. The first data center can update first data structure based on the second event message.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processor of a first data center for causing the processor to:

determine a first change in an authentication state of a user;
update a first data structure representing a current authentication state of the user based on the first change in the authentication state of the user;
store a first event message indicating the first change in the authentication state of the user in a message queue;
transmit the first event message from the message queue to a second data center that is remote from the first data center, the second data center being configured to receive the first event message and update a second data structure based on the first event message, the second data structure representing the current authentication state of the user;
receive a second event message from the second data center, the second event message indicating a second change in the authentication state of the user;
and
update the first data structure based on the second event message.

4 more elements

A method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors of a first data center, a first change in an authentication state of a user;
updating, by the one or more processors, a first data structure representing a current authentication state of the user based on the first change in the authentication state of the user;
storing, by the one or more processors, a first event message indicating the first change in the authentication state of the user in a message queue;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, the first event message from the message queue to a second data center that is remote to the first data center, the second data center being configured to receive the first event message and update a second data structure based on the first event message, the second data structure representing the current authentication state of the user;
receiving, by the one or more processors, a second event message from the second data center, the second event message indicating a second change in the authentication state of the user;
and
updating, by the one or more processors, the first data structure based on the second event message.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors of a first data center;
and
a memory including instructions that are executable by the one or more processors for causing the one or more processors to:
determine a first change in an authentication state of a user;
update a first data structure representing a current authentication state of the user based on the first change in the authentication state of the user;
store a first event message indicating the first change in the authentication state of the user in a message queue;
transmit the first event message from the message queue to a second data center that is remote to the first data center, the second data center being configured to receive the first event message and update a second data structure based on the first event message, the second data structure representing the current authentication state of the user;
receive a second event message from the second data center, the second event message indicating a second change in the authentication state of the user;
and
update the first data structure based on the second event message.
