Abstract
A method for logging a user into an online host system begins by receiving a login request from a web browser application of a client device, wherein the login request identifies the online host system. The method continues by initiating a single sign-on routine that involves an online third party system and by obtaining third party user data from the online third party system, wherein the obtained third party user data is associated with the user and is maintained by the online third party system. Host system records maintained by the online host system are modified in accordance with the obtained third party user data. Thereafter, the user is automatically logged into the online host system.
