Abstract
The authentication of a client to multiple server resources with a single sign-on procedure using multiple factors is disclosed. One contemplated embodiment is a method in which a login session is initiated with the authentication system of a primary one of the multiple server resources. A first set of login credentials is transmitted thereto, and validated. A token is stored on the client indicating that the initial authentication was successful, which is then used to transition to a secondary one of the multiple resources. A second set of login credentials is also transmitted, and access to the secondary one of the multiple resources is granted on the basis of a validated token and second set of login credentials.
