ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing distributed web server authentication of a user in web servers using a shared secret key. The method and system include receiving a request to connect a user to a web server, creating a user password cookie using a shared secret key and transmitting the user password cookie in response to the request to connect. An implementation of the method and system includes establishing a connection between the web server and a second user using a second user password cookie and the shared secret key. Another implementation of the method and system includes establishing a connection between the user and a second web server using the user password cookie and the shared secret key.
