Abstract:
An authentication system for providing shared credential authentication includes a client information handling (IHS) system having a resource service application, and a mobile IHS having a shared authentication application. The shared authentication token indicates that an authenticated state between the client IHS and the mobile IHS exists. The resource service application receives a request to access the resource, and sends an authentication request to an authentication server to authorize access to the resource. The shared authentication application receives a query from the authentication server to verify a status of a shared authentication token, and, when the shared authentication token is valid, responds to the query that the shared authentication token is valid. The resource service application further receives a response to the authentication request, and grants access to the resource when the authentication token indicates that the shared authentication token is valid.
