ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for authorizing a client request to a web server to execute a CGI application are provided. A web server receives a client request to execute a CGI application from a client. Authentication routines shared by a set of CGIs are executed by the requested CGI application to determine if the request is accompanied by an authentication token. If one is not received, then the CGI attempts to authenticate the client. Upon successful authentication, the CGI creates an authentication token using an authentication key and transmits the token to the client. The authentication token contains token data which is verifiable by the CGI application. Subsequent client requests to execute this or other CGI applications in this set of CGIs instrumented with the authentication routines are accompanied by the authentication token. The requested CGI executes its authentication routines to validate the authentication token and returns the requested output.
