Abstract:

Various embodiments utilize redirection techniques to refresh an authenticated session for a web-based executable operated across multiple domains. In at least some embodiments, the redirection techniques utilize a hidden inline frame (“i-frame”) to refresh an authenticated session. In some embodiments, polling is utilized to detect the end of a redirection sequence and a refreshed authenticated session while in other embodiments, an authenticated session is assumed to be refreshed after the expiration of a predetermined period of time.
