Abstract
A method includes performing operations as follows on a processor: associating a single sign on module with a native application residing on a mobile device, detecting, using the single sign on module, user invocation of the native application, the native application to request access to a resource from a service provider server, determining, using the single sign on module, whether the mobile device has a token stored thereon that indicates the user has been previously authenticated with an identity provider server, sending, using the single sign on module, the token to the identity provider server when the token is determined to be stored on the mobile device, receiving, at the single sign on module, an identity assertion for the user from the identity provider server responsive to sending the token to the identity provider server, and providing, using the single sign on module, the identity assertion to the native application. The service provider server is independent of the identity provider server.
