Claim 12:
13. An authentication method comprising:
instantiating, by at least one system processing device, connection functionality at an access point accessible from outside a first firewall controlling access to a desktop virtualization system;
instantiating, by the at least one system processing device, a virtual desktop behind the first firewall within the desktop virtualization system, the virtual desktop providing a secure computing environment;
receiving an indication, at the at least one system processing device, a user of a client device outside the first firewall is authenticated for access through the first firewall to the secure computing environment by the access point at a first time before the client device is in communication with the virtual desktop;
in response to receiving the indication that the user of the client device is authenticated, authenticating, by the at least one system processing device, a user of a client device for access through a second firewall within the secure computing environment controlling access to the server at a second time after receiving the indication that the user of the client device is authenticated at the first time;
in response to authenticating the user of the client device, placing, by the at least one system processing device, the client device in communication with the virtual desktop through at least one network;
launching, by the at least one system processing device, a secure browser in the virtual desktop;
using the secure browser, placing, by the at least one system processing device, the client device in communication with a server through the at least one network; and
performing, by at least one server processing device, processing in response to at least one command from the client device sent through the secure browser of the virtual desktop.
