One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates determining an identity of a third-party user in a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) implementation of a web-service. During operation, the system receives an SAML token profile web service request from the third-party user at the web-service. The system also receives a digital certificate designated by the SAML token profile web service request from the third-party user at the web-service. Next, the system analyzes the digital certificate to identify a third-party associated with the third-party user. The system then determines if the third-party is a trusted party. Next, the system receives one or more attributes associated with the third-party user at the web-service. The system then uses the attributes to identify the third-party user. Finally, the system performs a lookup in a user map to determine a user account that is associated with the third-party user.

Embodiments of the invention provide for persisting and retrieving search results based on a context of the search results and an application providing those results. For example, one embodiment of the present invention allows a user to access previous search result from a current page of a user interface, e.g., by clicking on an icon in the interface page. Additionally, these previous results can be made available without requiring the user to leave a current page in order to view the saved results. For example, the previous results can be indicated and accessible through an icon on the breadcrumb menu that, upon the user clicking of otherwise selecting the icon, causes the user interface to render the previous search results in a pop up dialog without leaving the current page.
