ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates single sign-on services in a hosting environment. The system operates by first receiving a request from a user to access a partner application at an application server. The system then determines if the user holds a token granting access to this partner application. If the user does not hold this token, the system redirects the request to a single sign-on server. This single sign-on server requests a user authentication credential from the user. Upon receiving the user authentication credential, including an entity identifier, the single sign-on server verifies if the user is authorized to access the partner application based on the entity identifier. If the user is authorized to access the partner application, the single sign-on server issues a token to the user, which grants the user access to the partner application.
