A system and method for using a Service-Provider password to simulate F-SSO functionality. A processor receives from an F-SSO Identity Provider authentication data for a user who has requested access to a secured service. The service is managed by an F-SSO Service Provider that does not offer F-SSO functionality for that service. Upon receiving the data, the processor redirects the user to an SU-F-SSO portal of the Service Provider, which uses the received authentication data to authenticate the user. The processor sends the user an on-demand password and, when the user uses that password to sign on, the processor matches the entered password with a stored copy of the password that was sent to the user. If they match, the processor grants the user access to the requested service. In some embodiments, the on-demand password may be a single-use password or may be sent to the user via an out-of-band communication.
A method for simulating Federated Single Sign-On (SU-F-SSO) functionality, the method comprising:
A single-use SU-F-SSO system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable hardware storage device coupled to the processor, the storage device containing program code configured to be run by the processor via the memory to implement a method for simulating Federated Single Sign-On (SU-F-SSO) functionality, the method comprising:
A computer program product, comprising a computer-readable hardware storage device having a computer-readable program code stored therein, the program code configured to be executed by a Single-Use SU-F-SSO system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable hardware storage device coupled to the processor, the storage device containing program code configured to be run by the processor via the memory to implement a method for simulating Federated Single Sign-On (SU-F-SSO) functionality, the method comprising:
