Maintaining session stickiness across authentication and authorization channels for access management

A system, comprising:

• a first access manager from a plurality of access managers, wherein the first access manager is configured to:
• authenticate a user of a client device based on an authentication request;
• create a session in response to successful authentication of the user;
• generate an identifier that identifies the first access manager;
• cause the identifier to be stored for the session;
• and
• receive a second request, wherein the second request is sent to the first access manager based on identifying the first access manager using the stored identifier.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the one or more processors to:

• authenticate, by a first access manager from a plurality of access managers, a user of a client device based on an authentication request;
• create, by the first access manager, a session in response to successful authentication of the user;
• generate, by the first access manager, an identifier identifying the first access manager;
• cause, by the first access manager, the identifier to be stored for the session;
• and
• receive, by the first access manager, a second request, wherein the second request is sent to the first access manager based on identifying the first access manager using the stored identifier.
