ABSTRACT:
The preferred embodiment provides a computer system and method for providing secure access to a software application from a web browser over the WWW. The system and method allows a user of the web browser to access the software application after performing appropriate security checks. The user inputs data via the web browser, which is communicated to the web server application. The web server application then authenticates the web browser, and passes appropriate input data to an application gateway, including data to uniquely identify the web browser. The application gateway then uses authentication data received from the browser to determine whether the user of the browser is authorized to access the software application. According to the preferred embodiment, the browser authentication information is used to correlate the user to appropriate authentication information for the software application. The application gateway then uses this new authentication information to gain access to the software application. The application gateway then performs the function requested in the web server input data by formatting appropriate commands for the software application. The software application responds by outputting data to the application gateway that includes an identifier that the application gateway uses to match the output data with the web browser that requested the output data. This system thus allows numerous web browsers access to the software application simultaneously.
