Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing client-assisted fulfillment of a resource request. For instance, the resource request initially may be directed to a machine that stores the resource (i.e., a resource machine). A resource access agent may redirect the resource request to a client device for purposes of fulfillment. For example, the resource access agent may intercept the resource request before the resource request reaches the resource machine and/or before the resource machine takes action with respect to the resource request. Such client-assisted fulfillment may (or may not) be provided in a single sign-on environment. A single sign-on environment is an environment in which multiple distinct software systems are accessible to a user based on a single authentication of the user.
