Claim 13:
14. A computer-implemented method of providing access control to distributed resources, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing dock coupled to an information handling system, a request for access to the computing dock;
providing, by the computing dock, an authentication request to an authentication system;
in response to the authentication request, providing, by the authentication system, an authentication challenge to the information handling system;
receiving, at the computing dock and in response to the authentication challenge, user credentials at the computing dock;
encrypting, at the computing dock, the user credentials;
providing, by the computing dock, the encrypted user credentials to the authentication system;
decrypting, at the authentication system, the encrypted user credentials verifying, at the authentication system, the decrypted user credentials;
providing, based on the verified user credentials, an authorization token to the information handling system; and
allocating, based on the authorization token, access to the resource to the information handling system.
