A single sign-on is implemented in an online transaction processing system. A security token extracted from a transaction request is received. The security token is validated and, in response to a positive validation, security information is extracted. The security information is processed to validate the transaction request and a set of validation attributes is generated. The set of validation attributes is stored in a read-only data object. A transaction server is notified of the read-only data object to authorize processing of the transaction request by the transaction server.

Implementing single sign-on in a transaction processing system

A received security token includes first access control attributes and a signature of a first identity provider of a first security domain. Additional access control attributes provided by a second identity provider of a second security domain are added into the received security token. The received security token with the added additional access control attributes is re-signed, with a private key associated with a certificate of a second service provider in the second security domain. The re-signing is an assertion in the second security domain that the added additional access control attributes have been provided by the second identity provider of the second security domain. The re-signed received security token is issued for consuming, using the added additional access control attributes, by any service provider in the second security domain.

Attribute-based access control

Attribute-based access control is performed across a first and a second security domain in a federated distributed processing environment. A security token received in the second security domain from a first service provider in the first security domain includes access control attributes. Access control information associated with a request to process an online transaction in the second security domain is received from an identity provider in the second security domain. The access control information is mapped into access control attributes compatible with a format of the access control attributes of the received security token. The mapped access control attributes are appended to the received security token to create a modified security token. The modified security token is signed with a certificate of a second service provider in the second security domain, and the modified security token is issued for consuming by any service provider in the second security domain.

A legacy machine-oriented language interface definition is received of a new module to be implemented, using an object-oriented language, to provide a new feature within a legacy machine-oriented language application that is executable within a legacy application execution platform. An object-oriented class definition and bridging code that interfaces the object-oriented class definition to the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition are generated. An updated version of the object-oriented class definition is received that includes object-oriented code that implements functionality of the new feature within the new module. A new executable version of the legacy machine-oriented language application is built. The new executable version of the legacy machine-oriented language application is executable within the legacy application execution platform, and includes the new module as a new object accessible using the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition with the functionality of the new feature as implemented by the object-oriented code.

Automated generation of bridging code to augment a legacy application using an object-oriented language

A method, system, and computer program product include a processor detecting, ambient noise in the vicinity of the mobile telephone and accessing one or more stored sounds. The processor determines that the ambient noise matches a stored sound of the one or more stored sounds and based on the determining, switches handling of incoming calls to the mobile phone to a predetermined state.

Arrangements describe herein relate to updating an e-mail recipient list. A first version of an e-mail can be received, the first version comprising a message header identifying at least a first e-mail recipient. The first version of the e-mail can be sent to the first e-mail recipient indicated in the message header. A second version of the e-mail can be received, the second version of the e-mail indicating at least a second e-mail recipient. The second version can be sent to the at least second e-mail recipient indicated in the message header of the second version. An update request for the first version can be received, the update request configured to be processed to update the message header of the first version to add the at least second e-mail recipient to the message header. The update request can be sent to the at least first e-mail recipient.

A legacy machine-oriented language interface definition of a new module to be implemented within a legacy machine-oriented language application using an object-oriented language is received at a processor. An object-oriented class definition and bridging code that interfaces the object-oriented class definition to the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition is generated by the processor. An updated version of the object-oriented class definition is received that includes object-oriented code that implements functionality of the new module. A new version of the legacy machine-oriented language application is created that includes the new module as a new object accessible using the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition and as implemented by the object-oriented code in the updated version of the object-oriented class definition.

A self-adjusting music scrolling method comprises providing a display screen, selecting a music score to be played by a musician, wherein the music score is cataloged and stored in a music score database as a first MIDI file, displaying a first portion of the selected music score on the display screen, recording musical notes played by a musician with a digital device, storing the recorded musical notes in memory as a WAV file, converting the WAV file into a second MIDI file, comparing the first MIDI file and the second MIDI file with a MIDI comparison algorithm, determining if the first MIDI file substantially matches the second MIDI file, automatically adjusting the music score on the display screen to show a second portion of the selected music score upon determining that the first MIDI file substantially matches the second MIDI file, and displaying one or more mistakes detected on the display screen upon determining that the first MIDI file does not substantially match the second MIDI file.
