Abstract

A method is described for allowing remote login to a user's personal workstation. The workstation is a client terminal connected to a server within a network. The method comprises the steps of searching, from a remote location, for a login web page of the network via a web browser and entering a series of login credential information into a particular login request area on the web page. In response to correctly entering the login credential information into the login request area, the user is provided with a graphical user interface (GUI) of the particular user's network terminal and full access to the personal network information such as software applications stored in the memory of the client terminal. (i.e. simulating the user's client terminal GUI and providing full access to locally stored software and functional elements of the user's client terminal). In a preferred embodiment, the login credential information includes the server site, the user identification, and the user's security password. The search for the particular web page and user's workstation using the login credential information is managed by a directory access protocol.
