Abstract
A method and system for maintaining a secure association between a client and a server in a distributed computing system by computing a session identifier as a function of a Kerberos-based authentication ticket. The session identifier is independently derived or verified by the client and the server upon a first request by the client to the server, and each subsequent request by the client to the server is tagged with this session identifier to provide a reliable security association.
