Abstract
An agent computer system uses a session-less login process to log in two users in a same application session. The system establishes an application session with an application server and a user session with the application server by authenticating a first user using an identity provider system (IdP). The system detects a request to perform an action by the first user within the application session that requires a second user's authentication. While maintaining the user session, the system requests a session-less authentication of the second user by transmitting an authentication request, which includes a flag indicating that the requested authentication is a session-less authentication. The system receives a confirmation of the authentication of the second user without establishing a second user session and performs the requested action in response to receiving the confirmation of the authentication of the second user.
