METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING A SINGLE SIGN-ON ENABLED APPLICATION TO ENFORCE AN APPLICATION LOCK

摘要

A single sign-on server associated with a single sign-on client authenticates a user of a device. Subsequent to the authenticating, the single sign-on client receives a request for an authentication token from a single sign-on enabled application operating on the device. The single sign-on client determines whether an application lock flag for the single sign-on enabled application is set. Responsive to the determining, the single sign-on client provides the authentication token to the single sign-on enabled application when the application lock flag is not set and withholds the authentication token from the single sign-on enabled application when the application lock flag is set.
