Systems and methods for monitoring cross-domain applications in web environments

A method comprising:

• running, on a first one or more computers, a first client application to receive data from a second one or more computers in a first domain, wherein the first client application communicates with a server application on the second one or more computers;
• running, on the first one or more computers, a second client application, wherein the second client application communicates with a third one or more computers operating in a second domain different from the first domain;
• receiving, by the second client application, an external session identifier which identifies a user session at the third one or more computers;
• storing, by the second client application, a composite data structure in the first domain, the composite data structure comprising the external session identifier;
• retrieving, by the first client application, the external session identifier from the stored composite data structure;
• and
• transmitting, by the first client application to the server application, a request that includes the retrieved external session identifier,
• wherein the second one or computers, in response receiving the external-session-identifier from the first client application, monitors a use of the external-session identifier at another one or more computers.

A system comprising a first one or more computers and a second one or more computers, wherein the first one or more computers are configured to:

• run a first client application to receive data from a second one or more computers in a first domain, wherein the first client application communicates with a server application on the second one or more computers;
• run a second client application, wherein the second client application communicates with a third one or more computers operating in a second domain different from the first domain;
• receive, using the second client application, an external session identifier which identifies a user session at the third one or more computers;
• store, using the second client application, a composite data structure in the first domain, the composite data structure comprising the external session identifier;
• retrieve, using the first client application, the external session identifier from the stored composite data structure;
• and
• transmit, using the first client application to the server application, a request that includes the retrieved external session identifier;
• and
• wherein the second one or computers are configured to, in response receiving the external-session-identifier from the first client application, monitor a use of the external-session identifier at another one or more computers.
