ABSTRACT:
A user, by way of a computing device, requests and receives content from a first server at the computing device. An authentication response is also received from the first server at the computing device of the user. The authentication response includes an address of the second server and an executable script. The computing device of the user executes the executable script by issuing a request to the second server for state information corresponding to the user, receiving the state information from the second server; and determining, based on the state information, whether the user is authenticated to the second server. If the user is not authenticated to the second server, the computer device of the user displays a login module that is visually associated with the first server. Such login module collects login information for authenticating the user to the second server. If the user is authenticated in the second server, the computing device of the user issues a request to the second server for vouching information for authenticating the user to the first server.
