Abstract
A system and method are provided for controlling access to resources and facilitating correction of access issues. A two-factor authentication method comprises: receiving a credential associated with a connection request, determining a resource identifier associated with the connection request, identifying a user associated with the resource identifier, determining whether the received credential is valid for the identified user, and, responsive to a determination that the credential is not valid for that user, denying access to resources associated with the resource identifier and communicating information regarding the failure to the identified user.
Claims20
A method in a communications system comprising:
- storing, at the communications system, a) information associating each of a plurality of users with one or more uniform resource identifiers, and b) information derived from credentials associated with each of a plurality of users;
- receiving, via a first communication channel, using a network interface of the communications system, a credential associated with a connection request;
- determining a uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request;
- identifying, based upon the determined uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request and at least a portion of the stored information associating each of a plurality of users with one or more uniform resource identifiers, a first user associated with the determined uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request, the uniform resource identifier being unique to the first user;
- determining, using a microprocessor of the communications system, whether the received credential associated with the connection request is valid for the first user, wherein determining whether the received credential is valid comprises comparing information derived from the received credential with stored information derived from a credential associated with the first user;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the received credential is not valid for the first user associated with the determined uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request:
- denying access to resources associated with the determined uniform resource identifier;
- and
- communicating with the first user, via a second communication channel, information regarding the determination that the received credential is not valid for the first user.

A messaging system comprising:
- a memory for storing a) information associating each of a plurality of users with one or more uniform resource identifiers, and b) information derived from credentials associated with each of a plurality of users;
- a microprocessor for executing program code for:
- using information from a received credential associated with a connection request to determine a uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request;
- identifying, based upon the determined uniform resource identifier associated with the connection request and at least a portion of the stored information associating each of a plurality of users with one or more uniform resource identifiers, a first user associated with the determined uniform resource identifier, the determined uniform resource identifier being unique to the first user;
- determining, using the microprocessor, whether the received credential is valid for the first user, wherein determining whether the received credential is valid comprises comparing information derived from the received credential with stored information derived from a credential associated with the first user;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the received credential associated with the connection request is not valid for the first user:
- denying access to resources associated with the uniform resource identifier;
- and
- a network interface for:
- receiving, via a first communication channel, the credential associated with the connection request;
- and
- communicating, via a second communication channel, information regarding the determination that the received credential is not valid for the first user to the first user.
