Abstract
A method and system for authenticating a user at a first computer to first and second applications installed in a second computer. The second computer receives from the user a first request to access the first application, and in response, the second computer redirects the first request to a third computer, and in response, the third computer determines that the user was previously authenticated and so notifies the second computer, and in response, the second computer returns a first session key to the third computer. The first session key enables a session with the first application but not with the second application. A second session key was sent by the third computer to the first computer after the third computer received the first session key from the second computer. The second session key enables a session with both the first application and the second application.
