Abstract
A system and method are presented for providing generic single sign-on in an electronic device. Information is received that identifies one or more applications and associated identity authenticators and a whitelist of the identified applications and authenticators is created. A request for an access token is received from a requesting application. If the requesting application is listed in the whitelist, an authenticator associated with the requesting application is determined and a request for an access token is sent to the associated authenticator. In response to the request, an access token is received from the authenticator and the access token is sent to the requesting application. If the requesting application is not listed in the whitelist, a predefined response message is sent to the requesting application.
