A client system may be configured to request a single sign on authentication, in which an identity certificate is provided by the client system and stored by a server system. The stored certificate may be used to later authenticate a secure connection between the client system and the server system, after validating that the user represented by the certificate is a legitimate registered user of the server. The secure connection validated by the stored certificate may be, for example, a secure sockets layer/transport layer security (SSL/TLS) connection.

Single sign on system for secure networks

Systems and methods for improving the handing of communications between network applications in a computer system with connectivity services interfaces that seamlessly handle the communications in an easy-to-use, secure, message-oriented environment are disclosed. Embodiments of systems and methods for maintaining ownership of sessions by applications, and for avoiding the orphaning of communication sessions when activities are terminated are also disclosed. Also disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for accessing data using authentication credentials different than the authentication credentials associated with a user that is requesting access to the data. Embodiments of systems and methods for authenticating credentials for establishing a secure communication connection between applications executing on different platforms are also disclosed.
