METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTE AUTHENTICATION IN A SERVER-BASED

摘要

A method and apparatus for remotely authenticating a user to a server in a server-based computing environment. A client computing device receives user credentials and generates user authentication data based upon the received credentials. The client computing device transmits the generated user authentication data to a server computing device. The server computing device authenticates the user responsive to the transmitted user authentication data. The server computing device generates new user authentication data based on the transmitted user authentication data. The server computing device transmits to a second server the new user authentication data. The second server authenticates the user, responsive to the received user authentication data.
