Abstract

A method and system for a server to facilitate authentication of a user of a client by a second server is disclosed. According to a disclosed method, the server, the second server, and the client communicate in a distributed computing network and the server and the second server store a plurality of restricted resources. The method includes the steps of storing data identifying the second server in the server, receiving a request to access one of the plurality of restricted resources from the client, and transmitting the data identifying the second server to the client so that the user of the client can be authenticated by the second server.
