First Claim
1. A server system for having web-based applications and services, comprising:
- an authentication module for authenticating user credentials for users attempting to connect to said server system;
a session module coupled to said authentication module to monitor users access to said server system after a user has successfully authenticated to said server system;
a profile module coupled to said session module to store user profile information of said user upon said user successfully authenticating to said server system; and

Abstract
In an enterprise server system having a server, a web-base applications single sign-on method and system. The single sign-on system includes logic for assigning and retrieving uniquely identifying tokens that are assigned to a user attempting to access one of many applications in the server. The token is assigned after the user has successfully logged into the server. The assigned token enables the user to access different applications in the server without having to authenticate every time the user goes from one application to the other. In one embodiment of the present invention, the single sign-on system includes a token that provides a listening mechanism for the applications that need to be notified when a token expires in order to deny access to the particular user identified with the expired token.
