Private network access

Abstract

A method is disclosed including establishing a browser session in response to receiving a request from a browser application in a public network. The browser session is assigned to a dedicated network service running in a dedicated network name space. Requests received from the browser application are proxied to a dedicated network service. A local web session in the dedicated network service authenticates a user of the browser application for access to at least one private webservice. A security client in the dedicated network service establishes a networking tunnel between the proxy and a remote gateway to the private network, thereby obtaining network access to the private webservice from the dedicated network name space. Within the dedicated network name space, proxied requests addressing the private webservice are forwarded over the networking tunnel to the private network.
