Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that re-establishes communication between a client and a server after an unexpected termination of communication. During operation, the system receives a request from the client at the server to re-establish communication between the client and the server, wherein the request includes a temporary credential. If the temporary credential is valid, the system temporarily re-establishes communication between the client and the server, until the client can be re-authenticated with a permanent credential.
