Abstract
A method of establishing privileged communication sessions to target services unifies multiple sub-sessions into a single super-session. The user client requests access to target services. The request includes authentication credentials. Using the authentication credentials, privileged credentials are retrieved for target services requiring privileged access. Interactive sub-sessions are established between an intermediate element and respective target services. Required credentials are provided by the intermediate element to the target services. The interactive sub-sessions are unified into a single super-session on the intermediate element, and the super-session is established with the user client. The super-session provides the user client with interactive control of each of the interactive sub-sessions. Data communication between the user client and the target services is conducted via the intermediate element.
