Abstract
A system and method for facilitating establishing a secure connection between a client application and a content provider. An example method includes employing a security gateway to authenticate a client for communications therewith; maintaining, for the client, security credentials for a data provider via a security configuration module, wherein the security credentials are associated with a description of data, which is associated with a data provider; using the gateway to determine which of the security credentials to use to fulfill the request message received by the security gateway from the client based on the request; and employing the selected security credentials to selectively retrieve data from and deliver the data to the client application. The example method may further include generating the request message when a User Interface (UI) control displayed in a UI display screen of a browser client is selected or activated.
