Abstract

A first server is configured to receive a first token from a user device, determine whether the first token is valid, request the user device to provide a set of credentials to a second server, based on determining that the first token is invalid, and receive a first response from the user device. The first response may include information identifying whether the user device is authenticated to communicate with the first server. The first server is further configured to send the first response to a third server. The third server may generate a second response to indicate authentication of the user device to communicate with the first server. The first server is further configured to receive the second response from the third server, generate a second token, based on receiving the second response, and send the second token to the user device.
