A system provides single sign-on capabilities for accessing a Web application through a passive client across multiple realms within a federation. A federation refers to different organizations or realms that have employed agreements, standards, and/or cooperative technologies to make user identity and entitlements portable between the organizations. Communications are redirected through a client in one realm to obtain a security token that can allow the resource server in the other realm to authenticate the user for access to the Web application.

Passive client single sign-on for web applications

The described systems, methods, and data structures are directed at data transfer using Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) query strings. A block of data is partitioned into sections. Each section is encoded in a query string of a HTTP message. Each HTTP message is sent to a server by redirecting through a client. Multiple redirected messages are sent until the entire block of data is transferred to the server. The data block may be stored as a cookie on the client so that the data block does not have to persist on any server. Data transfer using HTTP query strings may be implemented to transfer a security token from a security token service (STS) server to an application server.

Data transfer using hyper-text transfer protocol (HTTP) query strings

A system for authenticating computer users comprising a single active directory disposed in an intranet, a web server disposed in a DMZ associated with the intranet, and a web client coupled to the web server through an internet connection that is capable of signing on to the web server.
