A service computing system receives an API call in which an authorization token, that contains an identifier in the content of the authorization token, is included in a header of the API call. The identifier is also included as a parameter passed in with the API call. The service computing system parses the API call to obtain the authorization token, and the identifier included in the authorization token. It also obtains the identifier passed in as a parameter of the API call. The service computing system compares the identifier obtained from the authorization token to the identifier passed in as a parameter of the API call to determine whether they match. If they do not match, the API call is processed as an unauthorized API call. A security system in the service computing system authorizes the API call based on the comparison.

Client-server security enhancement using information accessed from access tokens

Dynamically associating an attribute and an associated value to an object includes dynamically associating attribute-value sets to an object, but is not so limited. An exemplary system includes a directory component that can be configured to dynamically assign different values, for a set attributes, to an object. An exemplary directory application can be configured to select an attribute-value set for an object based in part on a group membership determination, and a precedence parameter associated with an attribute-value, set, or other grouping. Other embodiments are available.
