Token-activated, Federated Access To Social Network Information
In one embodiment, a method includes one or more computing devices of a proxy server, in response to receiving a message from a token reader, generating a federated session token in relation to the message and sending a request for federated access to social-networking information of a first user of a social-networking system, where the request contains the federated session token. The method also includes one or more computing devices of the social-networking system, in response to receiving the request for federated access, validating the request based at least in part on one or more configuration settings associated with the first user and establishing a federated access session with the proxy server. The method also includes one or more computing devices of the proxy server, retrieving, by the federated access session, the social-networking information of the first user from the social-networking system.

- 1. A method comprising:
by one or more computing devices of a proxy server, in response to receiving a message from a token reader, generating a federated session token in relation to the message; by the one or more computing devices of the proxy server, sending a request for federated access to social-networking information of a first user of a social-networking system, wherein the request comprises the federated session token; by one or more computing devices of the social-networking system, in response to receiving the request for federated access, validating the request based at least in part on one or more configuration settings associated with the first user; by the one or more computing devices of the social-networking system, establishing a federated access session with the proxy server; by the one or more computing devices of the proxy server, retrieving, by the federated access session, the social-networking information of the first user from the social-networking system.
- 8. A system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
in response to a proxy server receiving a message from a token reader, generate a federated session token in relation to the message; send, from the proxy server to a social-networking system, a request for federated access to social-networking information of a first user of the social-networking system, wherein the request comprises the federated session token; in response to the social-networking system receiving the request for federated access, validate the request based at least in part on one or more configuration settings associated with the first user; establish a federated access session between the social-networking system and the proxy server; retrieve, by the federated access session, the social-networking information of the first user from the social-networking system.
- 15. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
in response to a proxy server receiving a message from a token reader, generate a federated session token in relation to the message; send, from the proxy server to a social-networking system, a request for federated access to social-networking information of a first user of the social-networking system, wherein the request comprises the federated session token; in response to the social-networking system receiving the request for federated access, validate the request based at least in part on one or more configuration settings associated with the first user; establish a federated access session between the social-networking system and the proxy server; retrieve, by the federated access session, the social-networking information of the first user from the social-networking system.
