Abstract
Systems herein allow a user to load a virtual work environment on a terminal, such workstation, based on authentication mechanisms built into a user device, such as a cell phone. The user device authenticate with a management server using an SAML token. The management server can track which virtual machines and configurations make up the user's work environment, and can send that information to the user device for loading the virtual machines. When the user wishes to load the virtual machines at a terminal, the user device can send the SAML token to the terminal for use in authenticating with the management server. The management server can then provide the configurations for the virtual machines that the user selects to load at the terminal.
