Abstract
Users of organizations use many different third-party applications. The organizations use the services of a server to manage and interact with the third-party applications. In particular, the server provides a remote login service that interacts with auto-login components executing within the domains of the organizations. The auto-login components intercept (e.g., at networking devices of the organization) the requests to login to, or otherwise use, the third-party applications, and sends them to the remote login service. The remote login service handles transparent login of the users to the third-party applications, capturing resulting URLs and session cookies of the third-party applications and providing them to the user browsers so that the user is automatically provided with access to the applications without requiring manual login interactions.
