In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving a request from a client device to join a room, the room associate with a plurality of other client devices streaming multimedia content; adding the client device to the room in response to the request; computing a synchronization time for the client based on time values associated with the client device and the other client devices; and transmitting the synchronization time to the client device, causing the client device to adjust playback of the multimedia content based on the synchronization time.

Synchronization of streaming content using live edge offsets

The disclosed embodiments describe methods, devices, systems, and computer-readable media for synchronizing streamlining multimedia files among client devices. In the various embodiments, multiple client devices are configured to adjust playback of live multimedia content to synchronize playback in combination with a video conference.

An identification module receives a password request for a specified user and communicates an encrypted password field in response thereto, wherein the encrypted password field references a directory object corresponding to the specified user. The present invention also teaches an authentication module that communicates the password request to the identification module and receives the encrypted password field therefrom. Upon receiving the encrypted password field, the authentication module authenticates the specified user against the referenced directory object. In some embodiments, the encrypted password field is stored in an identification data store of an identification server and the directory object is stored in an authentication data store of an authentication server.

Centralized user authentication system apparatus and method

Authentication credentials from legacy applications are translated to Kerberos authentication requests. Authentication credentials from the legacy application are directed to an authentication proxy module. The authentication proxy module acts as a credential translator for the application by receiving a set of credentials such as a user name and password, then managing the process of authenticating to a Kerberos server and obtaining services from one or more Kerberized applications, including Kerberos session encryption. A credential binding module associates a user corresponding to authentication credentials from a legacy authentication protocol with one or more Kerberos credentials. Anonymous authentication credentials may be translated to authentication requests for a network directory services object, such as a computer object or service object.
