Abstract
A client system submits a request to the first instant messaging system to access the first instant messaging service. The request includes an online identity that is associated with a second instant messaging system. The first instant messaging system communicates with the second instant messaging system to enable authentication of the online identity and, upon authentication, the first instant messaging system enables the client system to access the first instant messaging service.
