Abstract
A system and method for efficiently establishing a secure shell connection for accessing Web resources. A user attempts to establish a secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) session between a client computing device and a remote storage device. The storage device redirects the Web browser of the client computing device to a single sign-on (SSO) third-party identity provider for authorizing the user. After successful authorization, the client computing device receives information to use to maintain a secure HTTP session. This information is stored on the storage device. The user attempts to establish a text-based secure shell session. The user is not prompted for login credentials. However, the user is authenticated using the previously stored information and a text-based secure shell session is established.
