16. A system for providing remote user access to a secure application, said system comprising:
-
a secure server coupled to a publicly accessible global communications network, said secure server having a single sign-on (SSO) service module, wherein the secure server receives user authorisation details and a received password corresponding to the remote user; and at least one remote workstation having a web browser for navigating to the secure server via the publicly accessible global communications network, wherein the secure server generates a subsequent password upon validation of the user authorisation details and the received password and downloads the SSO deployment file to the at least one remote workstation, wherein the SSO deployment file includes the subsequent password, and wherein the SSO deployment file is executed to install an SSO client application on the at least one remote workstation that, when run, employs user credentials and the subsequent password to logon to the secure application. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
