1. A method for managing a virtualized computing infrastructure, the method comprising:
- instantiating one or more remote desktop configurations and making available, to a plurality of users via a remote network connection, the remote desktop configurations, wherein the remote desktop configurations each comprise an operating environment and software applications to be included in the operating environment;
receiving a request for a remote desktop session from one of the plurality of users, the remote desktop session conforming to one of the one or more remote desktop configurations;
in response to authentication of the one of the plurality of users, generating a one-time password for the one of the plurality of users based on identification information for the one of the plurality of users;
instantiating the requested remote desktop session and loading data and applications associated with the remote desktop session; and
persisting the one-time password for a duration of the remote desktop session and allowing access to said applications based on the one-time password until the one of the plurality of users indicates that the remote desktop session is to be terminated.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided for automatically logging into a cloud based system that does not accept token log-on credentials generated by a single sign-on service. In an embodiment, a one-time password is automatically generated and persisted. The generated password is used to log in automatically to a cloud based system that does not accept tokens generated by the web-ID providers and for connecting to other services. Examples of such systems may include Windows, Linux, and iOS.
