Systems and methods for providing session continuity across a chassis management controller failover

An information handling system, comprising:

• a first chassis management controller (CMC);
• a second CMC;
• and
• memory accessible to both the first and second CMCs;
• the first CMC being configured to:
• receive user authentication information from a user;
• authenticate the user for a communication session based on the received user authentication information;
• generate session information regarding the communication session based at least on the received user authentication information;
• and
• cause the session information to be stored in the memory;
• and
• the second CMC being configured to:
• automatically access the session information from the memory in response to a failover from the first CMC to the second CMC;
• and
• use the accessed session information to continue the communication session.

Logic instructions for maintaining a continuous authenticated session in an information handling system including at least a first chassis management controllers (CMC) and a second CMC, the logic instructions embodied in tangible computer readable media and executable by a processor, comprising:

• instructions for receiving user authentication information from a user;
• instructions for authenticating the user for a communication session based on the received user authentication information;
• instructions for generating session information regarding the communication session based at least on the received user authentication information;
• instructions for storing the session information in memory accessible to the second CMC such that upon a failover from the first CMC to the second CMC, the second CMC can automatically access the session information from the memory and use the accessed session information to continue the communication session without requiring re-authentication by the user.
