Abstract
A method for enabling communication between a client computer and multiple services on a server, wherein the multiple services have differing, incompatible client profiles. A client request to access the service is received. An identity of the client is determined at an orchestration layer based on a general client identifier independent of the services. The client identifier also includes a mapping to specific client identifiers associated with ones of the services. A particular common client profile for the client is accessed. An API (application programming interface) in the orchestration layer routes the request to a specific API for the corresponding service. The specific API interfaces with a corresponding single module that provides the service. The API transmits needed information from the particular common client profile to a corresponding module client profile associated with the corresponding single module. The service is provided to the client computer accordingly.
