Abstract
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing a cross instance user authentication architecture in an on-demand service environment including, for example, means for receiving a login request at a global Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address for the host organization from a client device; forwarding the login request; determining the selected datacenter is a home-geo or a non-home-geo datacenter; establishing a back-end link; forwarding the login request from the non-home-geo datacenter to the home-geo datacenter via the back-end link for authentication; and returning a response to the client device from the non-home-geo datacenter upon successful authentication of the login request at the home-geo datacenter. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
