Abstract

A web extension authenticates a user using a token based authentication scheme. A token is retrieved from a client application to authenticate the user. The web extension transmits the token to a server component to have the server component authenticate the user. The server component validates the token using a validation library. The user is mapped to the token and authenticated upon validating the token.
