Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 12:
13. An Information Handling System (IHS) supporting VPN (Virtual Private Network) session management for a plurality of workspaces operating on the IHS, the IHS comprising:
an embedded controller comprising a logic unit and a memory storing program instructions that, upon execution by the logic unit, cause the embedded controller to:
register a VPN consolidation function of the IHS with a workspace orchestration service that is remote from the IHS and manages deployment of the plurality of workspaces on the IHS;

one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the processors, the memory storing program instructions that, upon execution by the processors, cause the IHS to:
instantiate a first workspace according to a first workspace definition provided by the workspace orchestration service;
instantiate a second workspace on the IHS, wherein the second workspace comprises a VPN workspace that operates according to a second workspace definition provided by the workspace orchestration service, wherein the second workspace definition comprises credentials for tunneling to a first VPN endpoint;
receive, from the workspace orchestration service, a handle for communicating VPN data between the first workspace and the VPN workspace; and
transmit the VPN data between the VPN workspace and the first VPN endpoint via a tunnel generated based on the credentials provided in the second workspace definition.
