Abstract

A system and method for authenticating a user in a secure computer system. A client computer transmits a request for a sign-on page, the secure computer system responds by transmitting a prompt for a first user identifier, and the client computer transmits a request including a first identifier, a second identifier stored in an object stored at the client computer and a plurality of request header attributes. A server module authenticates the first and second user identifiers, and compares the transmitted plurality of request header attributes with request header attributes stored at the computer system and associated with the first and second user identifiers. If the first and second user identifiers are authenticated, and if a predetermined number of transmitted request header attributes match stored request header attributes, the server software module transmits a success message, and the user is allowed to access the secure computer system.
