detecting, by the server, a request for a secure communication session between a non-browser application and a server; the request initiated by the non-browser application; establishing, by the server, the secure communication session between the non-browser application and the server via a browser, the browser acts as an intermediary to initially establish the secure communication session and the secure communication session uses encryption, wherein the browser acts as an intermediary by acquiring a secure token and supplying the secure token to the non-browser application before the browser shuts down, the non-browser application includes an interface to interact with the browser but does not require the browser and is not embedded within the browser; mapping, by a server, a session cookie that the browser uses with the secure communication session to the secure token and instructing the browser to supply the secure token to the non-browser application; and maintaining, by the server, the secure communication session after the browser is shut down by translating the secure token, by the server, into the session cookie expected by the server, wherein the secure token is supplied by the non-browser application, the server maintains the session cookie and its mapping to the secure token and when the secure token is supplied by the non-browser application, the server translates the secure token to the session cookie allowing the secure communication session to continue unabated without the presence of the browser. |
