US Patent 11411946 Secure point-to-point integration of cloud systems

Different cloud software applications may be efficiently integrated in a secure manner, by providing each system with a dedicated Integration Setup URL/Endpoint. This endpoint can be derived from the base URL together with an Integration Setup User Interface (UI). Security is afforded through verification of certain properties. Cryptographically secured customer identification (via public key certificates) can ensure that customer A does not connect to systems of customer B. Also, business type information or landscape/zone can be referenced assign a tenant to a software variant (development, test, production). This prevents, e.g., a development system of type A from accidentally being connected to a production system of type B. Integration setup may be triggered per an integration scenario from one of the two affected endpoints, or from a separate (e.g., central) system. The configuration may be written on both sides with reasonable defaults, with the double confirmation ensuring compliance and security.
