METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AUTHENTICATION SESSION SHARING

摘要

An approach is provided for providing authentication session sharing between browsers and run time environments in network communication. An interface receives an authentication context associated with a first service. The interface causes, at least in part, storage of the authentication context in a first cache associated with the interface. The interface causes, at least in part, population of the authentication context to a second cache associated with a second service. The second cache is not directly linked to the interface. The authentication context in the second cache authenticates access to the second service.
