AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMBEDDED APPLETS

摘要

A system and method for authenticating user requests issued from embedded applets running on web-accessible user devices. The server system generates authentication tokens associated with user credentials, in response to user requests for HTML pages that include the embedded applets. The server system stores the authentication tokens on the server system, and includes the authentication tokens in URLs within applet tags in the HTML pages returned to the user devices. When the applets download and request content from the server system, the applets supply the previously included authentication tokens in the URLs that identify the requested content. Upon finding a match between the applet-supplied authentication tokens and the stored authentication tokens, the server identifies the user as a trusted user, and responds with the requested content. This can be used to eliminate HTTP- based authentication challenges for subsequent user access.

1. A web-accessible security system, comprising:
a server system connected to a security network that receives information from security devices on the security network; and one or more user devices that access the information from the security devices via the server system using embedded applets that receive authentication tokens that were provided by the server system and include the authentication tokens in messages to the server system.
