Abstract:
Software on a router receives configuration data that specifies a social networking service as a source for authentication according to an authentication protocol. Subsequently, the router software receives packet data from a client device for a destination other than the social networking service. The router software causes software on the client device to display a login view for the social networking service. The router software transmits the login data entered in the login view to the social networking service. And the router software receives an authorization code following a successful login by a user identified on an access control list (ACL). Then the router software transmits the packet data to the destination.
Abstract:
In one implementation a method is provided that includes receiving a coalesced notification from a client device associated with a social group. The coalesced notification indicating that a number of messages transmitted between a first and a second user of the social group meets a pre-determined number. In this regard, the messages comprise messages associated with the first user and messages associated with the second user. The coalesced notification is provided to a display without providing contents of the messages associated with the first user and the messages associated with the second user. An interaction with the coalesced notification is detected at the display. Based on the interaction, it is determined whether to present at the display new messages in a unified list. The unified list comprising a first portion of the messages associated with the first user and a second portion of the messages associated with the second user.
