International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709203, 709217

Abstract:

A system and method for testing server latencies using multiple concurrent users in a computer system is provided. A computer system may include a server and one or more clients. Multiple users may be created in the system such that each user may login to the server. The server may include a directory for each user and the directory for each user may be populated with a mix of files according to a user type for each user. An instance of a test program may be executed for each user on one or more clients concurrently. The server may authenticate each user using the same or different operating system protocols. Each instance of the test program may be configured to cause a series of accesses to one or more files in the directory of its respective user on the server and may be configured to cause a latency value to be measured and stored for each access that is performed. The latency values may be compiled by each instance of the test program and may be stored onto the server upon completion of each instance of the test program. The latency values measured by an instance of the test program may represent a first time portion that corresponds to the amount of time to perform a given access and a second time portion that corresponds to the server verifying that the user corresponding to this instance of the test program has permission to access the file.

US Classification:

713171, 713163, 713193, 380 44, 380259, 380277

Abstract:

A network trace utility is provided. The network trace utility receives and copies packets in a secure session of (at least) two-way network communication between a client and a server. The network trace utility receives an administrator password, and uses a hash of the administrator password to decrypt the first session key. The network trace utility then decrypts one or more additional session keys, each one using the preceding session key. Then, the network trace utility decrypts the machine key using one of the session keys. A hash of the machine key is used to decrypt additional packets in the secure session. The network trace utility enables the contents of one or more additional packets in the secure session to be displayed to the user.

International Classification:

G06F009/44

US Classification:

713/182000

Abstract:

A method of authenticating a user to access a client computer and a remote computer, such as a web server or a directory server, which is coupled to the client computer via the Internet. The method includes receiving credential(s) from the user and granting the user access to the client computer based upon the credential(s). The method also includes transmitting the credential(s) from the client computer to an identity provider server and granting the user access to the remote computer based in part upon the credential(s).
