Abstract
Techniques are described for activating multiple profiles on a shared mobile computing device. Each profile can be used to establish a connection with an instance of an application where the application instances can potentially be hosted on different servers. Due to the fact that the activation process to activate a profile on the shared device can be time consuming and require interacting with other devices or servers, the techniques described allow multiple profiles to be activated on a shared mobile computing device. Access to each of the profiles is controlled by a login process. During logging out of a profile, the cache of the shared mobile computing device can be cleared to improve security.
