1. An apparatus for providing login as a service, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations of;
receiving, by a login server, a login request redirected from a customer server, the redirected login request being received when a user computer requests to login directly to a customer application provided by the customer server, the customer application being a desktop application;
outputting, by the login server, a login form to the user computer within the customer application;
receiving, by the login server, a modified login form from the user computer via the customer application, the modified log in form creating a proposed login protocol for logging into the customer application;
determining, by the login server, whether the received modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application by verifying, by the login server, that the proposed login protocol is acceptable based on a customer specified login protocol associated with the customer server; and
notifying, by the login server, the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application in response to a determination that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing login as a service. A system receives, via a customer server, a request from a user computer to login to a customer application provided by the customer server. The system outputs a login form to the user computer, receives a modified login form from the user computer, and determines whether the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application. If the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application, the system notifies the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application.

1. An apparatus for providing login as a service, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations of; receiving, by a login server, a login request redirected from a customer server, the redirected login request being received when a user computer requests to login directly to a customer application provided by the customer server, the customer application being a desktop application; outputting, by the login server, a login form to the user computer within the customer application; receiving, by the login server, a modified login form from the user computer via the customer application, the modified log in form creating a proposed login protocol for logging into the customer application; determining, by the login server, whether the received modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application by verifying, by the login server, that the proposed login protocol is acceptable based on a customer specified login protocol associated with the customer server; and notifying, by the login server, the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application in response to a determination that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A non-transitory machine-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for providing login as a service, which instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out the operations of:
-
receiving, by a login server, a login request redirected from a customer server, the redirected login request being received when a user computer requests to login directly to a customer application provided by the customer server, the customer application being a desktop application; outputting, by the login server, a login form to the user computer within the customer application; receiving, by the login server, a modified login form from the user computer via the customer application, the modified log in form creating a proposed login protocol for logging into the customer application; determining, by the login server, whether the received modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application by verifying, by the login server, that the proposed login protocol is acceptable based on a customer specified login protocol associated with the customer server, the modified login form including user billing information; and notifying, by the login server, the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application in response to a determination that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for providing login as a service, the method comprising:
-
receiving a login request, by a login server, the login request being redirected via a customer server from a user computer requesting to login directly to a customer application provided by the customer server, the customer application being a desktop application; outputting, by the login server, a login form to the user computer within the customer application; receiving, by the login server, a modified login form from the user computer via the customer application, the modified log in form creating a proposed login protocol for logging into the customer application; determining, by the login server, whether the received modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application by verifying, by the login server, that the proposed login protocol is acceptable based on a customer specified login protocol associated with the customer server; and notifying, by the login server, the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application in response to a determination that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method for providing login as a service, the method comprising:
-
causing a login server to execute code to receive a login request, via embedded login code in a customer webpage executed by a customer server, redirected via the customer server from a user computer requesting to login directly to a customer application provided by the customer server, the login request being made at the customer server before being redirected to the login server, the customer application being a desktop application; causing the login server to execute code to output a login form to the user computer within the customer application; causing the login server to execute code to receive a modified login form from the user computer via the customer application, the modified log in form creating a proposed login protocol for logging into the customer application; causing the login server to execute code to determine whether the received modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application verifying, by the login server, that the proposed login protocol is acceptable based on a customer specified login protocol associated with the customer server; and causing the login server to execute code to notify the customer server that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application in response to a determination that the modified login form enables the user computer to login to the customer application. - View Dependent Claims (19)
