US Classification:
709221, 709224, 380 23
Abstract:
A method of discovering native or non-native authentication server domains and managing information about such domains in a computer network. The various domains are âdiscoveredâ by issuing requests from the client to one or more of the servers in the network. Each response is then characterized as being from a native or non-native server, and a list of each such server type is then compiled at the client. The administrator may modify the list, for example, by adding or removing server domains, or may apply a discovery âpolicyâ to tailor the way in which a user may access and interact with the discovered information.

US Classification:
709245, 709224
Abstract:
Embodiments may include a database messaging system having a database server in communication with one or more database clients. The database server may include a database messaging module, which may include a database administrator (DBA) interface module to receive a message request, where the message request includes message content and an indication of one or more database clients to which a message will be sent. The database messaging module may also include an address module to determine an IP address associated with each of the one or more database clients and a database messaging transmitter to transmit a message to each determined IP address, where the message may include the message content. The database clients may include a client listener for receiving the message from the database server and displaying it to a database client user's monitor.

US Classification:
709217000
Abstract:
Systems, methods and media for two-way communication between database client users and administrators are disclosed. Embodiments may include a method for communicating between database client users and administrators. Embodiments may include receiving a message request to send to one or more recipients, the message request including message content and an indication of the one or more recipients to which the message will be sent. Embodiments may also include determining an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with each of the one or more recipients based on the message request and transmitting a message to each of the determined IP addresses, where the message includes the received message content. Embodiments may also include receiving a second message from one of the determined IP addresses. Further embodiments may include displaying the second message in a display window. Recipients of messages may include database administrators (DBAs) or database client users.
