Abstract
A system and method for performing multiple user authentications with a single sign-on is disclosed. This system and method begins when the user performs a first user authentication, with user name and password, within the user's Intranet. Then the user selects a remote server subsequent to the first authentication. The server in the Intranet sends a token to the remote server containing authentication information made available because of the first authentication. Finally, the remote server decodes the authentication information, which has the effect within the remote server of performing a second user authentication without the user needing to sign-on a second time.
