    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for unifying a first identity management service with a second identity management service within a distributed computing system. The first identity management service can receive a request to perform an entity operation. The request may be formatted for an interface of the first identity service. The first identity service can determine that the account is in a second domain associated with the second identity service and transform the request to a format corresponding to an interface of the second identity service. The transformed request may be transmitted to the second identity service using an external proxy and based in part on the second domain corresponding to the second identity service.

    Abstract: Techniques are described that enable, in a multi-region cloud environment, information regarding one or more tenancy sessions that a network access program (e.g., a browser) participates in to be efficiently stored in a centralized location. The centrally stored sessions information can then be used for various purposes such as for restricting the number of tenancy sessions using a network access program, sessions cleanup, and other sessions-related tasks. In certain implementations, the centrally stored sessions information is used to prevent the network access program from opening multiple sessions for the same tenancy. In such implementations, for a particular tenancy, the network access program is allowed to have only one active session for the particular tenancy at a time. The centrally stored sessions information facilitates efficient sessions management including session cleanup after a session is closed.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling resources within a cloud computing system to interact with each other. In certain embodiments, a base identifier assigned to a first resource is extended by mapping the base identifier onto a second identifier assigned to a logical resource that is built upon the first resource. This allows the first resource to have two identities, one identity indicating what the first resource is (e.g., a particular compute instance) and another identity indicating the purpose of the first resource (e.g., operating as a database for a particular tenancy). Consequently, the first resource may be provided with access privileges different from those associated with the base identifier. For example, the first resource may access another resource in the tenancy using the second identifier, but may have no access to the other resource using the base identifier.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling resources within a cloud computing system to interact with each other. In certain embodiments, a resource is assigned a digital token that provides certain access privileges for the duration in which the digital token is valid. The digital token permits the resource to have access for a duration sufficient to perform some operation (e.g., run one-time code or the same code periodically on a scheduled basis), but without extending the level of access for significantly longer than necessary to complete the operation. Each time the resource principal is to perform the operation, the token can be reissued to the resource to provide the resource with time-limited access privileges. The use of this short-lived token avoids having to create permanent credentials for the resource.
