Abstract
A method includes receiving, by an operating system of the first computing device and from a client application executing on the first computing device, a first request for accessing a set of data associated with a user of the first computing device. The set of data is managed by a second computing device. The method further includes sending, by the operating system and to the second computing device, a second request for accessing the set of data. The method still further includes receiving, by the operating system and from the second computing device, a response to the second request. The method additionally includes, if the response to the second request grants the client application access to the set of data, then forwarding, by the operating system and to the client application, an access token to be used by the client application for accessing the set of data with the second computing device.
