- This application claims priority to co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/110,769 filed Apr. 28, 2008 (our docket no. 16356.1112), which is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/086,935 filed Mar. 22, 2005 (our docket no. 16356.913), which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,883,022 issued on Apr. 19, 2005 (our docket no. 16356.829), which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,694,365, issued on Feb. 17, 2004 (our docket no. 16356.522), which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,038,597, issued on Mar. 14, 2000 (our docket no. 16356.290), all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- The disclosures herein relate generally to information systems and more particularly to receiving and providing access to information at a web site.
- Various systems have been developed whereby data and information can be accessed by a remote provider and a remote user. In one such system, a remote access server provides a remote user with access to a local computer network. The server receives a user identification string from its communication port, the string having been entered by the remote user at a remote computer which is coupled to the communication port. The string identifies the remote user. The server uses the string to access a database and determine an Internet protocol (IP) address associated with the string. The remote computer needs the IP address to communicate on the local computer network. The database includes a user identification string for each remote user and an IP address for each string. The remote access server sends the IP address to the remote computer via the communication port. The server then allows the remote computer to access the local computer network and to communicate on the local computer network using the IP address.
- Another system is a multitask multiuser system which provides for efficient transfer of data from a remote data base to individual subscribers and has particular utility in the distribution of stock market data. A primary provider distributes the incoming data directly to user tasks or to an inquiry provider or a monitor provider. The inquiry provider responds to specific inquiries by users for information in the data base. The monitor provider maintains lists of information which are being monitored by the host computer for individual users. The inquiry provider and the monitor provider do not repeat requests to the remote data base where a similar request is already pending from another user. Data transfer paths between tasks are established by a code module which may be linked to any of the tasks. The transfer paths are established using information from a configuration list and they are monitored by the operating system through a wait list established for each user task. Providers in the system may establish subscriber lists through the code module.
- In another application, an authorization mechanism provides authorization information for a client requesting access to a server resource in a server, having a directory server for storing client information required by the server in executing an operation call, including client access rights, and generating a request for an authorization ticket to the server. The request for an authorization ticket includes an identification of the client and an identification of the client information required by the server and is in association with an operation call. The authorization mechanism generates an authorization ticket including the identified information encrypted with an encryption key derived from the password of the server. The authorization ticket is sent to the server and the server decrypts the authorization ticket with the server password and obtains the client information directly including the client access rights. Client information is stored in directory server fields identified by generic field tags. The authorization ticket request identifies client information by tag names identifying the fields, the requested information is stored in the authorization ticket in fields identified by the tag names, and the server mechanism then reads the client information.
- A further application includes a first data processing device (node I) coupled to a first private network and to a firewall server (FWA). Firewall server FWA is in turn coupled to a public network, such as the Internet. A second data processing device (node J) is coupled to a second private network which is coupled to the Internet through a firewall server (FWB). Node I provides a data packet including IP data and a destination address for the intended receiving node J to firewall FWA. Firewall FWA is provided with a secret value and a public value. The firewall FWA obtains a Diffie-Hellman (DH) certificate for firewall FWB and determines the public value from the DH certificate. A transient key is randomly generated and is used to encrypt the data packet to be transmitted by firewall FWA to firewall FWB. The encrypted data packet is then encapsulated in a transmission packet by the firewall FWA. The transmission packet includes an unencrypted destination address for the firewall FWB. Firewall FWA then sends the transmission packet to firewall FWB over the Internet. Upon receipt of the transmission packet from firewall FWA, firewall FWB obtains a DH certificate for firewall FWA and determines the public value from the DH certificate. Firewall FWB decrypts the encrypted data packet received from FWA, thereby resulting in the recovery of the original data sent by node I in unencrypted form to the firewall FWA. The firewall FWB then transmits the decrypted data packet to the receiving node J over the second private network.

Additional phone calls and/or meetings may be required before a decision can be made for a definitive purchase. The purchasing agent must then negotiate the best price based on many factors including the nature of the item and the quantity desired.
- Accordingly, a need has arisen for a method and system for receiving and providing access to information at a web site, in which various shortcomings of previous techniques are overcome.
- According to one embodiment, at a vendor-managed web site, purchasing information is received from a first terminal, including purchasing information that is customized for a customer. The customer includes first and second users having respective first and second levels of authorized access to the purchasing information. The first user is identified by a first identifier, and the second user is identified by a second identifier. To a second terminal, access at the vendor-managed web site is provided to: only a first portion of the purchasing information in response to receiving the first identifier from the second terminal which identifies the first user; and at least a second portion of the purchasing information in response to receiving the second identifier from the second terminal which identifies the second user. The second portion includes at least a part of the first portion and a third portion of the purchasing information. The part of the first portion includes at least a portion of the customized purchasing information.
- A principal advantage of this embodiment is that various shortcomings of previous techniques are overcome.

Once theNDA 36 is accepted, the user's hard drive at the terminal being used will function so as not to prompt that particular user with theNDA 36 again. However, each time a user accesses theorganization web page 18 from a different terminal atsecond user point 16 for the first time, the user will be prompted to accept theNDA 36, and upon accepting, the terminal being used will function so as not to prompt that particular user with theNDA 36 again. - As it can be seen, the principal advantages of this embodiment are that the web site provides information which is continuously updated by the provider and makes business purchases easier to initiate, manage and control for both the organization user/buyer and the provider/seller and reduces purchasing and maintenance costs for both user and provider. In addition, direct relationships between user and provider are enhanced and supported from pre-sales to post-sales.

The user is encouraged to do more transactions and information gathering online which is more efficient. A competitive advantage to the provider is that the user can conduct business with the provider in an easier, more cost efficient manner. User satisfaction and loyalty is enhanced and new users are attracted to this mode of purchasing from the provider.
