METHOD FOR A UNIVERSAL SINGLE SIGN-ON, SINGLE SIGN-ON, AND DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a web server which is run locally on a technical system, usually a computer, said web server supplementing the capabilities of the WebSSO protocol and expanding them by the addition of the local state held on the technical system, said local state including, in particular, whether the user has already signed on to another browser type or another rich client application. In order to support the rich client applications, a local desktop server can be used, which is, in particular, necessary and advantageous when a non-web-based protocol is to be used.
