A method and an apparatus for authenticating communication of a client (110) to a content server (120). A ticket authority (225) generates a ticket associated with the client (110). The ticket comprises a first ticket and a second ticket. The ticket authority (225) transmits the first ticket to the client (110) and the client (110) uses the first ticket to establish a communication session (135) with a content server proxy (115). The ticket authority (225) then transmits a second ticket to the content server proxy (115) and the content server proxy (115) uses the second ticket to establish a communication session (145) with the content server (120).
