Abstract
Methods for authentication session transfer using application download links are performed by systems and devices. A user or administrator at a first device enables the user to use an application at the user's mobile device. The user or administrator provides a request for the mobile application from the first device to an identity service. The identity service generates a uniform resource locator (URL) that encodes an authentication object generated by the identity service that is specific to the user's identity, and provides the URL to the mobile device. The identity service receives the authentication object back from a browser session of the URL at the user device, and establishes an authenticated browser session of the URL using the authentication object. The identity services authenticates the user's identity for the mobile application responsive to the mobile application invoking the authenticated browser session at the user device.
