Abstract
A technique for automated login to a browser application from a non-browser based client application begins upon the end user taking an action to access a target resource. A credential is associated with the client application as a result of a prior login operation. The technique is implemented in a server application associated with the client application. It enables automatic and secure passing of the client application credential to the counterpart browser application that is launched by the client application.
