LOGGING IN TO MODERN WORKSPACES USING DIFFERENT CLOUD IDENTITY PROVIDERS AND SINGLE SIGN-ON - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137361 titled 'LOGGING IN TO MODERN WORKSPACES USING DIFFERENT CLOUD IDENTITY PROVIDERS AND SINGLE SIGN-ON

Simplified Explanation

Users can log in to modern workspaces using different cloud identity providers and single sign-on. A login manager on a user's computing device collects the user's login credentials through a custom login screen and injects them into the authentication interface of a cloud identity provider to authenticate the user for logging in to the device. This authentication can also enable single sign-on for all resources in the modern workspace, allowing the user to access the workspace through any cloud identity provider.

• Simplified Explanation:

  - Users can log in to modern workspaces with various cloud identity providers and single sign-on.
  - A login manager on the user's device collects login credentials and authenticates the user through a cloud identity provider.
  - Single sign-on is enabled for all resources in the workspace, regardless of the identity provider used.

1. 1. 1. Potential Applications:

- Secure access to modern workspaces - Streamlined user authentication processes

1. 1. 1. Problems Solved:

- Simplifying user login processes - Enhancing security through single sign-on

1. 1. 1. Benefits:

- Improved user experience - Enhanced security measures

1. 1. 1. Potential Commercial Applications:
         1. Streamlined User Authentication for Modern Workspaces

1. 1. 1. Possible Prior Art:

- Existing single sign-on solutions in the market

1. 1. 1. 1. Unanswered Questions:
         2. How does the login manager ensure the security of user credentials during the authentication process?

The login manager likely uses encryption and secure communication protocols to protect user credentials during authentication.

1. 1. 1. 1. Are there any limitations to the number of cloud identity providers that can be integrated with the login manager for single sign-on?

The number of cloud identity providers that can be integrated may depend on the capabilities of the login manager and the compatibility of the providers.

Original Abstract Submitted

users can be logged in to modern workspaces using different cloud identity providers and single sign-on. a login manager can be provided on a user computing device to obtain a user's login credentials via a custom login screen. the login manager can then inject the login credentials into an authentication interface of a cloud identity provider to authenticate the user for purposes of logging in to the user computing device. the login manager can leverage this authentication to perform single sign-on for all resources of a modern workspace such that the user can be logged in to the modern workspace via any cloud identity provider.
