Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, at a video service provider system, a request for an online video session from a third party device with a security markup assertion language (SAML) token as an input, wherein the SAML token is encrypted for the video service provider system and signed by a third party security token service (STS) device, and the third party device is associated with a third party user account and a third party entity; decrypting a SAML assertion in the SAML token with a private key associated with the video service provider system; validating the SAML assertion based on a third party public key associated with the third party STS device; retrieving a third party account user identifier (ID) and a device type from an account link table wherein the account link table includes an authorization identifier, the third party account user ID, the device type, and a link time, wherein the link time identifies a time that the third party user account was linked with a service provider user account associated with the video service provider system; identifying the link time based on the third party account user identifier; identifying a password change time (PCT) stamp associated with the service provider user account; and providing the online video session to the third party device in response to determining that the PCT stamp is not later than the link time.
