This invention describes a way for a cloud platform to let its applications use external services that require a user's login details, without the applications ever seeing those details. The platform itself collects the user's username and password through its own interface, securely stores them, and then gives the application a special token that acts as a key to access the external service on the user's behalf. This specific version focuses on the platform directly storing the user's credentials and generating a token that points to their storage location.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for delegated authorization. The claims' focus on a platform directly storing user credentials for external services could be revisited for legacy systems or specific integration scenarios where standard authorization flows are not applicable, given today's heightened security demands.
