Leveraging an established authenticated session in obtaining authentication to a client application includes receiving a request for access to a client application requiring authentication of a requestor and determining whether there exist characteristics of leverageable authentications corresponding to established sessions having an authenticated state at a time of the determination. When the determination reveals characteristics of at least one leverageable authentication corresponding to an established session, and attempt is made to obtain access for the requestor to the client application based on the at least one leverageable authentication, and the requestor is provided with a notification related to the 1 attempt to obtain access for the requestor to the client application.

Implementing single sign-on across a heterogeneous collection of client/server and web-based applications

An object is developed using an operating system neutral application programming interface (API). The object is complied for a designated operating system that includes native objects and supports an API for accessing native objects of the operating system. The compiled object includes logic code, a native object interop for accessing the logic code using the API for accessing native objects of the operating system, and a platform-neutral interop for accessing the logic code using the operating system neutral API.

Native objects accessible by platform neutral API
