Abstract:
A method and data structure for separating application data from user data in a namespace. The data structure provides an intuitive profile layout for developers or users while supporting legacy applications. The namespace utilizes a hierarchical structure allowing access by developers or users over a network to information contained in identified public folders and/or a user's profile.

Abstract:
Systems and/or methods are described that enable a user to elevate his or her rights. In one embodiment, these systems and/or methods present a user interface identifying an account having a right to permit a task in response to the task being prohibited based on a user's current account not having that right.
Abstract:
A method and data stnzcttzre for creating and accessing folders stored in well known locations (2305). The data structure and method utilizes a set of Apls to create and manage well known folders (2304) on a system and/or to locate specific well known folders. The invention provides interfaces to create, locate, extend, and enumerate well known folders (2303). In addition, the invention allows a developer and/or user to customize properties of well known folders (2303).
Abstract:
Se describen sistemas y/o metodos que habilitan una interfase de credencial. Estos sistemas y/o metodos pueden desarrollar una interfase de usuario de credencial que permite a un usuario elegir entre multiples credenciales y presentar un autenticador para una credencial elegida. Estos sistemas y/o metodos tambien pueden reunir informacion sobre credenciales arbitrarias y desarrollar una interfase de usuario para la presentacion de autenticadores para estas credenciales arbitrarias.
Abstract:
A method of authenticating a user is disclosed. Multiple sets of credential information for multiple credentials and from multiple credential providers are received. Each set of credential information to enable tailoring of a portion of a graphical user interface to present one of the multiple credentials and to specify an acceptable credential type for the one of the multiple credentials. A request to authenticate the user is received. The multiple credentials are presented on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a corresponding portion for each of the multiple credentials that is tailored based on its set of credential information. An authenticator for one of the multiple credentials that is of the acceptable credential type is received. The authenticator is capable of authenticating the user. Alternatively a method of authenticating a user comprises gathering sets of information associated with two or more credentials. Each of the credentials capable of authenticating users and the sets of information are associated with the each of the credentials including instructions for submitting an authenticator for the each of the credentials to an authenticating entity. A graphical user interface to display the sets of information associated with the two or more credentials is tailored and the graphical user interface is presented. The graphical user interface enables selection of at least one of the two credentials.
Abstract:
Systems and/or methods are described that enable a credential interface. These systems and/or methods may build a credential user interface enabling a user to choose between multiple credentials and submit an authenticator for a chosen credential. These systems and/or methods may also gather information about arbitrary credentials and build a user interface for submission of authenticators for these arbitrary credentials.
