Apparatus system and method for real-time migration of data related to authentication
First Claim
1. An apparatus for real-time migration of data related to authentication, the apparatus:
- comprising;
a migration module configured to receive an authentication credential and submit the authentication credential to a first and a second authentication server;
a binding module configured to redirect an authentication credential intended for the first authentication server to the migration module; and
the migration module further configured to automatically migrate data corresponding to the authentication credential from the first authentication server to the second authentication server.

Abstract
The present invention facilitates deploying a new authentication protocol in an established application environment. In one embodiment, an authentication credential is intercepted by a migration module that determines whether data associated with the specified account needs to be migrated from an established server to a target authentication server. A binding module may redirect authentication credentials intended for the established server to the migration module. In one embodiment, new user accounts may be added on the target authentication server, if specified by configuration options. Data associated with user accounts such as titles, telephone numbers, addresses, or the like may be migrated from the established server to the target server with the authentication data.
