First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at an interface, an authentication context associated with a first service;
causing, at least in part, storage of the authentication context in a first cache associated with the interface; and
causing, at least in part, population of the authentication context to a second cache associated with a second service, the second cache not directly linked to the interface,wherein the authentication context in the second cache authenticates access to the second service.

Abstract
An approach is provided for providing authentication session sharing between browsers and run time environments in network communication. An interface receives an authentication context associated with a first service. The interface causes, at least in part, storage of the authentication context in a first cache associated with the interface. The interface causes, at least in part, population of the authentication context to a second cache associated with a second service. The second cache is not directly linked to the interface. The authentication context in the second cache authenticates access to the second service.

14. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
receiving an authentication context associated with a first service; causing, at least in part, storage of the authentication context in a first cache associated with the apparatus; and causing, at least in part, population of the authentication context to a second cache associated with a second service, the second cache not directly linked to the apparatus, wherein the authentication context in the second cache authenticates access to the second service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
