In one embodiment, a method comprises accessing information associated with a user that is trying to login to an application, generating a first session identifier corresponding to the information, sending a first notification to an authentication client that the user is trying to login using an authentication service, receiving a first request from an authentication provider for authenticating a second session identifier, determining that the second session identifier is identical to the first session identifier by comparing the second session identifier with stored first session identifier, and causing the authentication provider to patch one or more authentication tokens with the information regarding the tenant, where the one or more authentication tokens are used for accessing the application.

Multi-tenanted authentication for applications

In one embodiment, a method may use one or more Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to receive data associated with a web application from a first user interface (UI) client device. The method may use the one or more REST APIs to determine a stateless operation by performing stateless pre-processing on the data associated with the web application and one or more contextual features associated with the stateless operation. The method may determine an augmented notification by applying an augmentation operation on the one or more contextual features and the stateless operation. The method may determine a stateful operation using the augmented notification. The method may receive a request for an update on the data associated with the web application from a second UI client device. In response to receiving the request, the method may communicate the stateful operation to the second UI client device.

High scalability and end-to-end consistency for web applications in distributed environments

A method for unjoining and rejoining clusters of computing nodes in edge site computing networks to reduce the impact of interruption to connectivity between computing nodes is presented. The method includes accessing a cluster of computing nodes executing on an edge site computing network. The cluster of computing nodes includes a plurality of follower computing nodes and a leader computing node. The method further includes detecting an interruption to connectivity established between the leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes. In response to detecting the interruption to connectivity, the method includes bifurcating the cluster of computing nodes into a first subcluster of computing nodes and a second subcluster of computing nodes. In response to detecting a restoration of connectivity, the method includes recombining the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes.

Unjoining and rejoining clusters in computing networks

A method includes receiving, at an access node, a connection request from a device and in response to the connection request, establishing a connection with an identity provider. The device, the access node, the local network, and the identity provider are members of an identity federation. The method also includes, after the device is authenticated with the identity provider, sending or receiving, to or from the identity provider and by the access node, data linking the device to an item and an owner of the device.
