Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that performs single sign-on to web applications using dynamic directives. The system operates by first receiving a request at an application to provide content to a user. In response to the request, the application provides public content to the user. Upon receiving a request from the user to access private content, the application sends a dynamic directive to a web module that can access a single sign-on server on behalf of the application, wherein the dynamic directive specifies that an authentication credential is required from the user. Next, the application allows the web module to request the authentication credential from the single sign-on server on behalf of the application. When the authentication credential is received from the single sign-on server, the application provides the private content to the user.
