The process begins with a web server receiving a request for access to a first web service. An agent intercepts the request to collect authentication credentials. A determination is made to check if the web service customer is authenticated and authorized. If so, a session and session ticket are created, and an ID along with the session ticket is returned to the web server. The session ticket ID and a public key are then encrypted into an assertion, which is sent to the first web service. This assertion can be utilized for future requests, potentially in the form of a SAML assertion.
