Abstract
A technique to establish a secure session to a network-accessible application from a mobile device executing a native app. Initially, the network-accessible application is provisioned for access by an enterprise associating a set of one or more of its enterprise users with the network-accessible application. Thereafter, access to the application is enabled via an identity provider. In operation, the identity provider receives a request to validate that an enterprise user seeking access to the network-accessible application is associated with the application. The request is generated by the application in response to a login request initiated from the native app from a mobile device, wherein a certificate for the application is not available to the native app. Upon validating that the enterprise user is associated with the network-accessible application, the identity provider returns to the application an authentication token evidencing that the enterprise user is permitted to access the network-accessible application for a session.
