AUTOMATIC SIGN-IN UPON ACCOUNT SIGNUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18543902 titled 'AUTOMATIC SIGN-IN UPON ACCOUNT SIGNUP

Simplified Explanation

The present embodiments describe a system and method for automatic sign-in upon account signup using a federated login approach for a cloud infrastructure. This involves a signup and sign-in service (SOUP) and an identity provider portal configured as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) partners.

• The system utilizes a federated login approach for automatic sign-in upon account signup for a cloud infrastructure.
• The signup service redirects the user browser to a cloud infrastructure console for a federated login flow.
• A SAML authentication request is issued by the sign-in service and redirected to the signup service.
• Upon validating the browser using a SAML authentication process, the user is automatically signed into the new account and granted access to the cloud infrastructure service.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where secure and seamless account creation and sign-in processes are required, such as:

• Cloud computing services
• Online banking platforms
• E-commerce websites

Problems Solved

This technology solves the following problems:

• Streamlines the account creation and sign-in process for users
• Enhances security by utilizing SAML authentication
• Improves user experience by automating the sign-in process

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

• Increased efficiency in account management
• Enhanced security measures with SAML authentication
• Improved user experience with automatic sign-in upon account creation

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in industries such as:

• Cloud service providers
• Identity management companies
• Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field is the use of Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions for seamless authentication across multiple platforms.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatic sign in upon account signup. Particularly, the present embodiments can utilize a federated login approach for automatic sign in upon account signup for a cloud infrastructure. Specifically, the signup and sign in service (also known as SOUP) and an identity provider portal can be configured such that the nodes are aware of each other as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) partners. After new account registration, the signup service can redirect the user browser to a cloud infrastructure console to start with a federated login flow, where a sign in service can issue a SAML authentication request, and redirects it to signup service. Responsive to validating the browser using a SAML authentication process, the browser can be automatically signed into the new account and allowed access the account relating to the cloud infrastructure service.
