Embodiments disclosed provide access to Traversal Using Relays around Network Address Translation (TURN) servers using trusted single-use credentials, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by a TURN authentication agent, a request for a TURN server credential. Responsive to determining that the request is authorized, the agent generates a trusted single-use credential and transmits it to the requestor. Using this trusted single-use credential allows untrusted clients to access a TURN server without exposing a userid/password combination. In another embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by the TURN server, a request for a TURN service. The server challenges the request, and receives a userid and a password. Responsive to determining that the userid and the password constitute a trusted single-use credential and responsive to determining that the request is authorized, the server provides the TURN service for the requestor.

Controlling access to traversal using relays around network address translation (TURN) servers using trusted single-use credentials

A method for generating and communicating communication components over a messaging channel is provided. The method includes (i) presenting a structured micro block based on a conversation in a form of unstructured natural language in the messaging channel between a user and an agent (ii) incorporating the structured micro block that collects strongly typed information from the user as a part of the conversation in the messaging channel, (iv) generating a structured workflow by interleaving the structured micro block with the unstructured natural language, and (v) communicating the structured workflow over the messaging channel for enabling the user to perform one or more operations.

System and method for generating and communicating communication components over a messaging channel

A method for generating a rich persistent conversation history from structured and unstructured information using a communication protocol is provided. The method includes (i) receiving media contents associated with conversations from messaging channels, (ii) selecting a set of selected messaging channels from where the media contents are received, (iii) demarcating boundaries in each of the media contents associated with the conversations based on an activity of users, (iv) inserting segmentation demarcations to a first conversation to differentiate the first conversation from a second conversation, (v) determining communication elements for each conversation associated with the segmentation demarcations on each messaging channel, (vi) generating a conversation snippet by linking the communication elements for each messaging channel, (vii) linking conversation snippets to generate a segment associated with the conversation for each messaging channel using lexical and non-lexical features and (viii) generating the rich persistent conversation history by linking segments from the messaging channels.

Providing origin insight via Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translation (STUN) messages for web applications, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for providing origin insight for web applications via STUN messages comprises determining an origin identifier for a web application attempting to send a STUN message to a STUN server; generating the STUN message incorporating the origin identifier for the web application; and transmitting the STUN message to the STUN server. In another embodiment, a method for providing STUN services to web applications comprises receiving a STUN message from a web client, and extracting an origin identifier for a web application. Provision of a STUN service to the web application is determined based on the origin identifier. If the STUN service should not be provided, the STUN message is rejected or disregarded; otherwise the STUN message is processed.

The system and method identify contact information for a first party. The contact information for the first party includes a plurality of communication endpoints of the first party and a plurality of communication applications for the plurality of communication endpoints of the first party. For example, the plurality of communication endpoints may be a home phone and a cell phone of the first party. The plurality of communication applications may be voice, video, text, and/or virtual reality applications of the first party. An electronic communication request is received from the first party to the second party. In response to receiving the electronic communication request from the first party to the second party, a first communication endpoint of the plurality of communication endpoints for the first party and a first communication application of the plurality of communication applications of the first party is selected based on a rule.

Providing data resource services within enterprise systems for resource level sharing among multiple applications, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for providing a data resource service within an enterprise system is provided. The method includes receiving a user data request from a web application having application logic located outside of an enterprise system to access user data stored in memory within the enterprise system. The method further includes accessing the user data stored in the memory within the enterprise system in response to the user data request from the web application. The method also includes providing access to the user data stored in the memory within the enterprise system to the web application in response to the user data request.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing meeting roster awareness for participants in a conference. An example system configured to practice this method can first identify participants in a conference, and retrieve, from a source external to the conference, information describing relationships between the participants. Then the system can compute, based on the information, a relationship graph assigning a relationship strength for at least two of the participants. The system provides an indication of the relationship strength to one of the participants, such as providing an indication of relationships of which other participants are not aware. Sources external to the conference can include a social network, a communication history, an organizational chart, a directory, or group membership, for example.

Meeting roster awareness

Embodiments include managing Identity Provider (IdP) identifiers for Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) interactive flows, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media. In one embodiment, a method for managing IdPs comprises selecting, by a WebRTC client executing on a computing device, one or more preferred IdP identifiers indicated by one or more preferences from a plurality of IdP identifiers corresponding to a plurality of IdPs for providing identity assertions during an establishment of a WebRTC interactive flow. The method further comprises obtaining one or more identity assertions from respective ones of the plurality of IdPs corresponding to the one or more preferred IdP identifiers. The method also comprises providing, during the establishment of the WebRTC interactive flow, the one or more identity assertions. In this manner, an entity may specify the IdP used for identity authentication, and the number of identity assertions provided during initiation of the WebRTC interactive flow.
