International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 9/00
G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 5, 726 3, 726 4, 726 6, 726 7, 713168, 713169, 713170, 713171, 713172

Abstract:

An authentication system and method for allowing an administrator to host a plurality of service principal names (SPNs) over a common network port of a backend server. The authentication system includes a client computer, a backend server, and a service principal name (SPN) apparatus. The client computer sends an authentication request to the backend server. The backend server performs an authentication procedure in response to a reception of the authentication request from the client computer. The SPN apparatus configures a plurality of service SPNs for the web service application over the common network port.

US Classification:

717170, 717174

Abstract:

A migration set list generator specifies a physical topology of a deployed software solution, wherein the software solution comprises a plurality of software components and data associated with said plurality of software components integrated into a single entity. The migration set list generator specifies at least one solution change to the deployed software solution to meet at least one business requirement and specifies at least one migration strategy for migrating the deployed software solution, wherein the at least one migration strategy comprises at least one of a product level strategy specified for a particular software component of the plurality of software components and at least one solution level strategy specified for the plurality of software components, wherein the product level strategy overrides the solution level strategy for the particular software component. The migration set list generator generates a plurality of migration tasks for making the at least one solution change to the deployed software solution specified in the physical topology based on the at least one migration strategy and generates a recommended physical topology yielded for the software solution if the physical topology is updated according to the plurality of migration tasks.
