Abstract

See full text

The authentication and security mechanism in a first program is used to access an application program which requires a different type of authentication and password. A server program runs in the same machine as the application program. The server program communicates with the first program and it is accessed and it authenticates the user utilizing the security and authentication mechanism of the first program. After the user ID of a user who desires access to the second program has been authenticated using the authentication mechanism of the first program, the server program (a) generates a temporary password for the authenticated user I.D., (b) changes the password for the authenticated user ID to the temporary password, (c) accesses the second program using the authenticated ID and the temporary password, and (d) receives data and/or commands from the first program using the security mechanism from the first program and transmits this data and/or commands to the second program and (e) receives data and/or commands from the second program and transmits the data and/or commands to the user using the security mechanism of the first program.
