Abstract
An un-authenticated user attempts to access a protected resource at a Web- or cloud-based application from within a rich client. The client has an associated local HTTP server. Upon being refused access, a browser-based login dialog is opened automatically within an embedded browser panel. After receipt of the user's login credential in the panel, the browser passes the credential server application. If the user is authenticated, the browser-based dialog receives a cookie establishing that the user is authenticated for a session. The browser then automatically makes a request to the HTTP server, passing the cookie. Upon receipt of the request at the rich client HTTP server, the rich client saves the cookie in an associated data store, shuts down the login dialog, and re-issues the original request to the server, this time passing the cookie. The rich client, having provided the cookie, is then permitted to access the resource.
