Abstract
Single sign-in for accessing protected content across all providers and access channels is provided. When a user selects to view an additional content item, a determination may be made whether access authentication from the requesting user is required. If access authentication is required, a federated login credential may be received from the requesting user. The federated login credential may be used for granting access by the requesting user to the selected additional content item across different content channels, and the federated login credential may be used for granting access by the requesting user to other protected content items without requiring additional access authentication from the requesting user.
