A cloud-based security service that includes external evaluation for accessing a third-party application. The security service receives a request to access a third-party application from a client device. The security service enforces a set of one or more access policies configured for the third-party application including an external evaluation rule. As part of enforcing the external evaluation rule, the security service transmits an external evaluation request to an external endpoint defined in the external evaluation rule. The external evaluation request includes an identity of a user associated with the request. The security service receives the result of the external evaluation. If the external evaluation passed, the security service grants access to the third-party application based at least in part on its passing.

Cloud-based security service that includes external evaluation for accessing a third-party application

A server transmits to a third-party application a request for a resource that is received from a client. The server receives an authentication request from the client device that has been generated by the third-party application. The server transmits an identity provider selection page to the client device that allows the client device to select an identity provider. The server causes the client device to transmit a second authentication request to a selected identity provider. The server receives an authentication response that was generated by the identity provider that includes the identity of the user. The server enforces access rule(s) including identity-based rule(s) and/or non-identity based rule(s). If the user is permitted to access the third-party application, the server causes an authentication response to be transmitted from the client device to the third-party application that indicates the user has successfully authenticated.

Identity proxy and access gateway

A system for cross-domain identity management (SCIM) proxy service is described. A first SCIM endpoint receives, from a first SCIM client, a first message that includes a SCIM resource. The first SCIM endpoint is associated with a customer of the SCIM proxy service. The SCIM proxy service is configured as a first SCIM service provider for the first SCIM client. The first message is validated. The first SCIM proxy service determines that a third-party application is in scope for the SCIM resource, where the SCIM proxy service is configured as a second SCIM client for the third-party application. The SCIM proxy service transforms the SCIM resource to create a transformed SCIM resource that is applicable for the third-party application. The SCIM proxy service transmits a second message to a second SCIM endpoint of the third-party application, the second message including the transformed SCIM resource.

System for cross-domain identity management (SCIM) proxy service

A server receives from a browser executing on a client device an HTTP request. The server transmits a response to the HTTP request to the browser. The response includes code that when executed by the browser, executes a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client that communicates with a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service at an external network. The server receives, from the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client executing in the browser, data related to the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service. The server proxies the data related to the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service over a layer 4 tunnel that is interfaced with the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service. The server logs event data received from the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client executing in the browser.

Non-HTTP layer 7 protocol applications running in the browser

Layer 7 protocol (non-HTTP) client applications are executed in the browser. The non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client application connects to a compute server that proxies layer 4 packets to the origin network that has the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service. As an example, an SSH client (a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol) can execute in the browser and the TCP packets (layer 4 packets) are proxied by a compute server to the origin network that has the appropriate SSH server. The non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client application allows users to run commands or otherwise interact with the client as if they were using a native application (one that is not executed within the browser) without any client-side configuration or agent.

Embodiments herein adjust speaker volume according to a predefined volume level assigned to a display device that displays an application generating audio output. In one example, the display device is assigned a volume level that is a function of the size of its display area. When an application displayed on the monitor begins to output audio, the audio is outputted using the volume level assigned to the monitor. If a computing system includes multiple display devices, the computing system automatically changes the volume setting of a speaker as the application outputting the audio is moved from one display device to another. Once the application moves from a first display device to a second display device, the computing system automatically adjusts the speaker volume to the volume level assigned to the second display device.
