20110282909 | SECREGATING ANONYMOUS ACCESS TO DYNAMIC CONTENT ON A WEB SERVER, WITH CACHED LOGONS - A system and method are provided for segregating access to dynamic content on multiple websites hosted by a web server. When a request is received for dynamic content from a website, a UserRetriever module identifies a path to the content and retrieves a username and password corresponding to the website, from a database that is separate from the web server and used for other purposes (e.g., billing). A UserImpersonator module requests a logon handle for that username from a logon cache manager. The logon handle is used to associate the request with the impersonated user account instead of the default anonymous user account with which the request was initially associated. The dynamic content is retrieved and served under the context of the restricted impersonated user account session, after which the applied logon handle is stripped off and the request is re-associated with the default anonymous user account. | 2011-11-17 |

20110283003 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BILLING SYSTEM INTERFACE FAILOVER RESOLUTION - A determination is made whether a first application server of a group of N application servers, N being at least two, is a coordinator of the group. Responsive to determining that the first application server is the coordinator of the group, a connection to a billing system is established, via a terminal server, by the first application server. A determination is made whether a second application server of the group of N application servers is the coordinator of the group. Responsive to determining that the second application server is not the coordinator of the group, a periodic check is made whether the second application server of the group of N application servers is the coordinator of the group. The second application server may later be determined to be the coordinator of the group, when the first server experiences difficulty. Once it is determined that the second application server now is the coordinator of the group, a connection is established to the billing system, via the terminal server, by the second application server. | 2011-11-17 |
20110283004 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SETUP - Provided is a device and a method for automatically setting up a channel. A method for setting up a channel in a slave node includes examining whether a Link Control Protocol (LCP) session with a master node is opened by changing a time slot within a variable range, and performing an Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) connection with the master node when the LCP session is opened. | 2011-11-17 |
20110283005 | GENERIC BROADBAND APPLICATION AND PLUG-INS - A network device may include one or more devices to select, upon receiving a broadband card at the network device, a first vendor-specific plug-in provided in the network device, to detect the broadband card; one or more devices to determine that the first vendor-specific plug-in fails to detect the broadband card; and one or more devices to select, when the first vendor-specific plug-in fails to detect the broadband card, a second vendor-specific plug-in provided in the network device, to detect the broadband card, the first vendor-specific plug-in being associated with a first vendor, and the second vendor-specific plug-in being associated with a different, second vendor. | 2011-11-17 |
20110283006 | COMMUNICATING WITH AN IN-BAND MANAGEMENT APPLICATION THROUGH AN OUT-OF-BAND COMMUNICATIONS CHANNEL - A remote management controller is provided for use in conjunction with a managed host computer. The remote management controller exposes a virtual network interface controller, such as a driverless virtual USB network interface controller, to the managed host computer. Through the in-band connection provided by the virtual network interface controller, the remote management controller can communicate with in-band management applications executing on the managed host computer. The managed host computer can also access services executing on the remote management controller through the in-band communications interface. The remote management controller can also enable communication between the management client computer and in-band management applications executing on the managed host computer. The managed host computer can also access an out-of-band communications network between the remote management device and a management client computer. | 2011-11-17 |
20110283007 | Aggregation application written as a module or an extention of another application - Machine, method for use and method for making, and corresponding products produced thereby, as well as data structures, computer-readable media tangibly embodying program instructions, manufactures, and necessary intermediates of the foregoing, each pertaining to digital aspects of a computerized aggregation system. The system can include a user computer system interposed between a segment of a network allowing communication between the user computer system and at least one server system, and other segments allowing communication between the user computer system and a plurality of third party server systems. The one server system enables the user computer system to access the plurality of other servers. The access permits forming an aggregation of information obtained from the third party server systems. | 2011-11-17 |
