A system comprising:

• a first server comprising a first processor, the first processor configured for:
• receiving a bearer token for accessing a cloud service including the first server, wherein the bearer token is generated based on authenticating a remote client in communication with the first server system,
• determining that a resource of the cloud service is hosted by a second server system of the cloud service rather than the first server system, and
• providing the bearer token to the remote client along with redirect information for accessing the second server system;
• and
• the second server, the second server comprising a second processor configured for:
• receiving the bearer token from the remote client, and
• establishing a session between the second server system and the remote client for accessing the resource in response to receiving the bearer token.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code executable by a processing device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• program code for receiving, by a first server system of a cloud service, a bearer token for accessing the cloud service, wherein the bearer token is generated based on authenticating a remote client in communication with the first server system;
• program code for determining, by the first server system, that a resource of the cloud service is hosted by a second server system of the cloud service rather than the first server system;
• program code for providing, by the first server system, the bearer token to the remote client along with redirect information for accessing the second server system;
• and
• program code for establishing a session between the second server system and the remote client for accessing the resource in response to the second server system receiving the bearer token from the remote client.
