Local and Reverse Authentication for Cloud Directory Remote Servers Using a Single Sign on (SSO) Authentication Protocol

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to:
• instantiate, at the computing system, an interactive credential provider;
• receive, from a client device, a notification of a remote display protocol connection;
• execute, based on the notification of the remote display protocol connection, by the interactive credential provider, and with a cloud directory authority, a single sign on (SSO) protocol, wherein the SSO protocol is configured for use between the client device and the remote desktop server;
• and
• perform, based on successful execution of the SSO protocol and for the client device, a login to a remote session between the client device and the computing system.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, cause the computing system to:

• instantiate, at the computing system, an interactive credential provider;
• receive, from a client device, a notification of a remote display protocol connection;
• execute, based on the notification of the remote display protocol connection, by the interactive credential provider, and with a cloud directory authority, a single sign on (SSO) protocol, wherein the SSO protocol is configured for use between the client device and the remote desktop server;
• and
• perform, based on successful execution of the SSO protocol and for the client device, a login to a remote session between the client device and the computing system.
