Abstract
A method of authenticating a Web client to a Web server connectable to a distributed file system of a distributed computing environment. The distributed computing environment includes a security service for returning a credential to a user authenticated to access the distributed file system. The method preferably operates within the context of a native operating system environment such as 'Windows NT'. Upon initialization of the Web server, a session manager creates a pool of temporary Windows NT user identities. In response to a Web client browser request, a temporary NT user identity is associated with proper DCE credentials. A server process then impersonates the returned NT user identity on a thread which is attempting to access the requested resource.
