Abstract
Various embodiments allow a web application or product to provide multiple sessions within the context of a single browser, without making any changes to the embedded application. In at least one embodiment, a new proxy layer is introduced in the stack, along with extra logic in the main application to generate session-specific URLs for the embedded application. The new proxy layer causes the browser to invoke a unique URL per session for the embedded application, with its session information being tied to the unique URL. From the user's (and browser's) perspective, there are multiple sessions in the same browser.
