A system detects a security attack through a network-based application. The system receives a runtime request for invocation of a function and dynamically determines if the request for invocation of the function is associated with a cross-site scripting attack. In response to determine the function is associated with a cross-site scripting attack, the system stores information associated with the request, which is used for determining if the request is a legitimate request or a cross-site scripting attack.

False positive detection reduction system for network-based attacks

Techniques are disclosed relating to protecting sensitive data in references to network resources. In some embodiments, a host system receives a request for a stored resource, where a first portion of the request is encrypted by a client device using a particular encryption technique and a second portion of the request is not encrypted using the particular encryption technique and where the first portion of the request includes a reference to the resource. In some embodiments, the host decrypts the reference to the resource and provides the resource to the requesting device based on the decrypted reference.

Obfuscation of references to network resources

Various techniques and procedures related to user authentication, identity providers, and single sign-on (SSO) are presented here. One approach creates an SSO link between two organizations in a streamlined manner using an internal cross-user systemwide digital certificate, and without processing any user-created, user-uploaded, or user-assigned digital certificates. Another approach presented here configures an identity provider service for an entity or organization by processing a single user command. The identity provider service is automatically configured in the background without processing any additional user commands, user instructions, or user-entered data.

Efficient single sign-on and identity provider configuration and deployment in a database system

A method and apparatus for protecting against attacks from outside content is described. In one example, a request is received from a user to access content from a second domain. An active session for the user with the second domain is searched for. If no active session is found, then an active session with a related first domain is searched for. If an active session is found with the first domain, then a session is established with the second domain based on the active session with the first domain. The requested content is then provided to the user based on the established session with the second domain.
