A client transmits a user identifier and a password to a server via an application programming interface (API). The client establishes an authenticated session with the server in which the client has a first set of permissions for operations associated with the API. The client receives, responsive to a verification of the user identifier and password by the server, a logon response and a shared secret. The client generates a one time passcode (OTP) based upon the shared secret. The client sends the OTP to the server via the API. Responsive to the server validating the OTP against the shared secret, the server grants a second set of permissions for operations associated with the API.

Automatic upgrade from one step authentication to two step authentication via application programming interface

A system and method for compressing that comprises establishing attributes or elements to build a schema that is utilized to generate a record that includes the connection descriptions, building a set of substitution rules by using range expressions and substitution variables, and utilizing the set of substitution rules to associate value assignments that compress the connection descriptions within the record.

Defining pairing rules for connections

The invention resides in a method, system and program product for grouping related program sequences for performing a task. The method includes establishing, using a first code for grouping, one or more groups that can be formed between one or more related group-elements obtained from a plurality of groupable program flow documents, and executing, using a group program sequence engine, the groupable program flow documents, wherein each group-element considered an ancestor group-element of a group established and validated by the first code is executed before executing a related group-element obtained from the group, and wherein the related group-element of the group is executed only once during execution of the groupable program flow documents for performing the task. In an embodiment, the establishing step includes identifying a name attribute specified in the one or more related group-elements for establishing the one or more groups.

An integrated hybrid system is provided. The hybrid system includes compute components of different types and architectures that are integrated and managed by a single point of control to provide federation and the presentation of the compute components as a single logical computing platform.

Unified resource manager providing a single point of control

A method for priority buffering of trace data in a computing system includes receiving instances of trace data by a priority assignment module, the trace data being generated by events that occur during execution of computer software in the computing system; assigning a priority to each instance of trace data, wherein the priority is assigned based on the event that generated the instance of trace data; and inserting the instances of trace data into a plurality of priority buffers based on their respective assigned priorities.

Priority buffering for trace data in trace queue

A method, system and program product for dynamically adjusting trace buffer capacity based on execution history. The method includes receiving, by a module configured to trace, a plurality of traces pertaining to one or more trace events generated during execution of a program being traced, the trace events generated including panel data and sequence data. The method further includes determining, using trace data captured from the plurality of traces received, whether or not a path for a trace event is a new path. If the path for the trace event is determined to be a new path, the method includes dynamically adjusting, by the module, an initial size of a trace buffer configured to store the trace data captured, such that, the module increases the initial size of the trace buffer upon making a determination that the trace event is a new trace event based on execution history.
