摘要:
A Centralized Authentication & Authorization (CAA) system that prevents unauthorized access to client data using a secure global hashtable residing in the application server in a web services environment. CAA comprises a Service Request Filter (SRF) and Security Program (SP). The SRF intercepts service requests, extracts the service client's identifier from a digital certificate attached to the request, and stores the identifier in memory accessible to service providers. The client identifier is secured by the SP using a key unique to the client identifier. When the web services manager requests the client identifier, the web services manager must present the key to the SP in order to access the client identifier. Thus, the present invention prevents a malicious user from attempting to obtain sensitive data within the application server once the malicious user has gained access past the firewall.

A Centralized Authentication & Authorization (CAA) system that facilitates secure communication between service clients and service providers. CAA comprises a Service Request Filter (SRF), a Service Client Authentication Program (SCAP), a Service Authorization Program (SAP), and an Authorization Database (ADB). The SRF intercepts service requests, extracts the service client's identifier from a digital certificate attached to the request, and stores the identifier in memory accessible to service providers. In the preferred embodiment, the SRF forwards the service request to a web service manager. The web service manager invokes SCAP. SCAP matches the identifier with a record stored in ADB. SAP queries ADB to determine if the service request is valid for the service client. If the service request is valid, SAP authorizes the service request and the appropriate service provider processes the service request.

The invention concerns a method and apparatus for indicating a parameter of a transmitted fluid. One embodiment of the invention comprises a fluid source operatively coupled to a conduit for transmitting a fluid from the fluid source. In addition, a sensor detects a parameter of the fluid, such as the percent oxygen content of the fluid. In response to the sensor detecting the parameter of the fluid, an indicator illuminates a portion of the conduit if a predetermined condition, such as a minimum percent oxygen content of the fluid, is satisfied.

The present invention is a method for locating an asset in a facility. An example of an asset is a vehicle and an example of a facility is a parking facility. When the user enters the facility with the asset, the user receives a base and code from a base/code booth. The code may be stored on a removable card. The user secures the asset by entering the code. While the user is away from the facility, the present invention monitors the base for movement detected by the motion sensor. When the user returns to the facility, a locator panel displays the location of the asset. The present invention determines the location of the asset by triangulation using the locators. The user then returns to the asset, deactivates the motion sensor, returns the base and code to a base/code booth, pays for the storage services, and exits the facility.

A user connected to a remote printer can choose to activate a print-monitoring feature of the printer as part of the submitted print job. As the job begins to print, the output of the printer is monitored for print quality. If an event occurs during the print job that affects the print job, the user receives real-time notification of the status of the print job. The events can be printer related such as paper jam or print job related such as poor print quality. The user can have an option of reviewing various parts of the print job during the printing process. There can also be an automatic print job out evaluation. If the user accepts the print quality, the printer will continue printing the job. If the user is not satisfied with the print quality, the job is halted and sent to a temporary print buffer. While the job is halted, adjustments are made to either the printer to improve print quality or to the print parameters of the print job to improve print quality.

Methods and arrangements to control pop-up windows are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to deny focus to a pop-up window that is generated within a pop-up delay interval of input activity on the part of a user. In some embodiments, the pop-up delay interval may be a default value such as ten seconds. In other embodiments, the pop-up delay interval is configurable. In some embodiments, the pop-up window may be granted focus after the user ceases input activity for the pop-up delay interval. In some embodiments, the pop-up window may be displayed without focus. Some of these embodiments may modify the region of the screen in which the pop-up window is displayed. In some embodiments, the pop-up window may be displayed in a portion of the screen that does not overlap with the portion of the window that does have focus. In some embodiments, the user may be notified that a pop-up window was displayed without focus. In some embodiments, the user may disable the denial of focus to pop-up windows. In some embodiments, the user may exempt classes of pop-up windows from the denial of focus.

Systems, methods and media for updating an instant messaging system on a network are disclosed. More particularly, hardware and/or software for updating status indicators such as ‘away’ messages of an instant messaging system are disclosed. Embodiments include determining that a change in status of the user has occurred and automatically transmitting an indication of the change in status to instant messenger system manager via a network. Embodiments include determining that a change in status of the user has occurred based on receiving an indication that the user's status has changed, such as from user input on a keyboard, mouse, etc. Other embodiments include determining that a change in status has occurred based on determining that the user's status has changed based on an electronic calendar, expiration of a time period, etc.
