Abstract
A system and method for facilitating authenticating a client application to enable communications with another server-side application running on a server in communication with the client application (client). An example embodiment involves providing an authenticator for the client to a shared library that is accessible to the client and server, and then registering the authenticator for the client at the server. After registration, the client sends a request message (addressed to a server-side application) and token to the server. The token is derived using the authenticator at the shared library. The server then uses the token to check that the authenticator associated with the received token is registered. The server then communicates with the shared library to authenticate the client by verifying that the received token identifies the client that has provided the authenticator to the shared library. Client identity is then set to enable communications with the server-side application.
