Abstract
In some examples, a user device receives, from a source federation site of the source domain, an authentication token for use at a target federation site of the target domain, the authentication token from a user memory that correlates the authentication token to first user credentials useable in the source domain. The user device sends, to the target federation site, the authentication token, and receives, from the target federation site, a request authentication token from a second memory that correlates the authentication token to the request authentication token. The user device sends the request authentication token to an authentication federation emulator that comprises an emulator memory correlating the request authentication token and second user credentials useable in the target domain, and receives the second user credentials from the emulator memory of the authentication federation emulator.
