Substituting callback URLs when using OAuth protocol exchanges

Abstract:

Systems for computer security. A proxy service implements methods for substituting callback uniform resource locators (URLs) when using an OAuth protocol exchange to authenticate an application. A proxy service is established at a first uniform resource locator to carry out communications between one or more identity access management servers and a plurality of application hosting sites. At least one of the plurality of application hosting sites has a second uniform resource locator that is different from the first uniform resource locator. An identity access management server will register the application and the first uniform resource locator. From any hosting site, the application is invoked, upon which invocation, the application carries out at least a portion of the OAuth protocol exchange with the IAM. The proxy service at the first uniform resource locator receives an authentication message from the IAM and then redirects the authentication message to the application hosting site.
