Abstract
A method, an information handling system (IHS), and an authentication system for authenticating users of an IHS. The method includes receiving, from a client computer system, a request to access at least one authentication domain of the IHS. The method further includes transmitting a request for an authentication token to a baseboard management controller (BMC) and receiving the authentication token from the BMC. The method further includes generating, via a processor, an application session using the authentication token and the client credentials and transmitting the application session to the client computer system. The application session allows access by the client computer system to the authentication domain of the IHS.
