Abstract
The invention relates to methods and systems for reconnecting a client and providing user authentication across a reliable and persistent communication session. The method includes providing a first connection between a client and first protocol service and a second connection between the first protocol service and a host service. The first protocol service detects a disruption in the first connection. The client re-establishes the first connection between the client and the first protocol service while maintaining the second connection between the first protocol service and the host service. The first protocol service receives a ticket associated with the client and validates the ticket. The first protocol service links the re-established first connection to the maintained second connection after the ticket is validated.
