Abstract

A method of accepting a remote access at a target machine from a source machine may include receiving a login request at the target machine from the source machine, wherein the login request includes a user identification for the target machine. Responsive to accepting the login request, a session may be provided between the source and target machines using the user identification for the target machine. In addition, a user identification for the source machine may be received, and the user identification for the source machine may be locked at the target machine so that the user identification for the source machine is associated with target machine actions relating to the session between the source and target machines. For example, the user identification for the source machine may be received as an environment variable.
