A system for providing a client's credentials to a computer program comprises a database remote from the client and a single signon server module. The single signon server module can receive a request for the client's credentials from the computer program, determine whether the client's credentials are stored in the database, and send the client's credentials from the database to the computer program in response to a determination that the client's credentials are stored in the database. The single signon server module can store the client's credentials in the database in response to a determination that the client's credentials are not stored in the database. The single signon server module can encrypt the client's credentials prior to storing the client's credentials in the database and can decrypt the client's credentials prior to sending the client's credentials to the computer program.
A computer-implemented method in a sign-on remote computer for providing user credentials to a computer program executing at a second remote computer, the sign-on remote computer and the second remote computer being located at different locations remote from a client computer under control of a user, there being a communicative connection between the sign-on remote computer and the second remote computer, a communicative connection between the sign-on remote computer and the client computer, and a communicative connection between the client computer and the second remote computer, the method comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable medium for providing user credentials from a sign-on remote computer to a computer program executing on a second remote computer, the sign-on remote computer and the second remote computer being located at different locations remote from a client computer under control of a user, there being a communicative connection between the sign-on remote computer and the second remote computer, a communicative connection between the sign-on remote computer and the client computer, and a communicative connection between the client computer and the second remote computer, and wherein the computer-readable medium does not consist of a propagated data signal, the computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:
A system for providing user credentials from a sign-on remote computer to a computer program executing on a second remote computer, comprising:
