In one embodiment, a client computer system receives user credentials from a computer user. The client computer sends the received user credentials to an authentication service running on a server computer in a datacenter, where the authentication service is configured to authenticate the user credentials so that the user is authorized to access datacenter-provided information corresponding to various client-side applications. The client computer receives an authorization indication from the authentication service indicating that the user is authorized to access the datacenter-provided information and stores the received authorization indication in a credential store on the client computer. The computer system also receives from a client-side application an authentication request to authenticate the user and automatically sends the stored authorization indication indicating that the user is authorized to access the datacenter-provided information, without prompting the user to provide user credentials for authentication.
