20110252462Authenticating a Remote Host to a Firewall - A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for authenticating a remote host to a firewall. The illustrative embodiments allow a requesting host separated from a target host by a firewall to determine, based on exception handling code, that an original request sent to the target host has been intercepted and blocked by the firewall. The illustrative embodiments also allow the requesting host to automatically provide credentials that authenticate the requesting host to the firewall. The illustrative embodiments are particularly applicable in situations when requests are invoked without any user interaction, such as when a timer expires. In such a case, there is no user to provide the needed credentials to authenticate the requesting host. The illustrative embodiments enable a requesting host to access a target host without requiring user intervention.10-13-2011
20120005659DEBUGGING WORKFLOWS - Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to a debugging system (“system”) configured to access a work flow document. The workflow document may include references to flow activities connected by flow connectors, forming a workflow path. Some of the flow connectors may have breakpoints. The debugging system can insert command instructions for a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request into the workflow document at locations associated with the flow connectors and initiate a test run of the workflow path. In some embodiments, during the test run, when one of the flow connectors is reached, the system executes the command instructions for the HTTP request, sending the HTTP request to a debugger application (“debugger”). If a breakpoint is associated with the flow connector, the debugger can delay response to the HTTP request, otherwise the debugger can respond immediately. A user can debug the workflow document during the delay.01-05-2012
