Single sign-on authentication system
First Claim
1. A single sign-on authentication system, comprising:
- an authentication component that determines whether a user is authenticated, and, if it is determined that the user is authenticated, generates a connection request;
an interface component that receives the connection request from the authentication component, the connection request including an identifier and entitlement information;
wherein the interface component compares the received identifier with an expected identifier and, if they match, makes the entitlement information available to a server associated with the interface component.

Abstract
A single sign-on authentication system includes an authentication component that determines whether a user is authenticated, and, if it is determined that the user is authenticated, generates a connection request, the connection request including an identifier and entitlement information. The system also includes an interface component that receives the connection request from the authentication component. The interface component compares the received identifier with an expected identifier. If they match, the interface component makes the entitlement information available to a server associated with the interface component. A method for enabling an authenticated user to connect to a server in a computer network includes receiving a connection request for an authenticated user, the connection request including an identifier and entitlement information; comparing the received identifier with an expected identifier; and, if they match, making the entitlement information available to the server.
