Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure enable single sign-on for secure network services. In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises providing, by a processing device of a first server, a prompt for first login information associated a second server. An authentication request is transmitted on behalf of a client to the second server to authenticate the first login information received from the client. An authentication ticket is provided to the client in view of the first login information. The authentication ticket is received from the second server in response to authentication of the first login information. A service request comprising the authentication ticket and a request to access a service associated with the first server is received from the client. Thereupon, access to the service by the client is enabled by applying the authentication ticket, without prompting the client for entry of second login information.
