Abstract:
A method of providing a client with a privileged access ticket (PAT) to access a target service is performed at a credentials management service (CMS) in communication with a client and an authentication service. The CMS receives a privileged access ticket request from the client. The PAT request uses authentication credentials. The CMS retrieves privileged credentials using the authentication credentials, and sends a PAT request to the authentication service using the privileged credentials. When the PAT is received, the CMS forwards the PAT to the client. Optionally, in order to acquire a PAT the CMS sends a privileged provisioning ticket (PPT) request using the privileged credentials to the authentication service, and, after the PPT is received, requests the PAT from the authentication service using the PPT.

Claim (Index 68):
A computer-implemented method for managing credentials for use in an authentication protocol, the method comprising:\n determining that a client requires a specific permission to access a target service according to the authentication protocol; identifying, based at least in part on the determination, a credential accessible to the credentials management system, the identified credential being associated with the client but not accessible to the client; communicating with an authentication service using the identified credential to obtain an authenticator on behalf of the client based on the identified credential; receiving the authenticator from the authentication service, responsive to the authentication service authenticating the credentials management system based on the identified credential; and sending the authenticator to the client thereby enabling use of the authenticator by the client for client operations with the target service.
