Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for de-centralized nodal failover handling in a high availability computing architecture. The system can include multiple different nodes coupled to one another in a cluster over a computer communications network including an initial lead node and remaining auxiliary nodes. The system further can include a messaging service coupled to each of the nodes and nodal failover handling logic coupled to each of the nodes and to the messaging service. The logic can include program code enabled to periodically receive heartbeat messages from the messaging service for the initial lead node and to subsequently detect a lapse in the heartbeat messages, to post within a message to the messaging service a request to become a replacement lead node in response to detecting the lapse in the heartbeat messages, and to periodically post heartbeat messages to the messaging service as the replacement lead node for the initial lead node.
Abstract:
An electronically authenticated internet voice connection can be initiated on an institution's website. Authentication of the customer's identity can be determined based upon already established credentials, such as a username and password. Upon verifying the identity of the customer, the institution's web server can generate and transmit a unique identifier to the customer's browser. The unique identifier can be an encrypted identifier used to authenticate the customer when establishing a subsequent voice connection.

Abstract:
A host organization system for a host organization of a physical site, receives a request, by a visitor with an identifier of a visitor organization for a visitor access medium, for access to the physical site controlled by a physical access control system requiring presentation of the visitor access medium for access to the physical site, wherein there is an electronic trust relationship between the host organization system and a visitor organization system for the visitor organization via a network, wherein the visitor organization system maintains an electronic identity profile for the visitor. Responsive to the host organization system receiving an authenticated identifier for the visitor from the visitor organization system and validating the authenticated identifier from the visitor organization system, issuing a visitor access medium to the visitor for controlling access to the physical site.
