1. A method comprising: on the basis of an authentication request generated in response to a user of a client device attempting to initiate a user session with an application managed by a service provider and the service provider redirecting the attempted user session of the client device to an identity provider, generating an authentication response based on credentials received from the user, the authentication response including an assertion on behalf of the user; rewriting a delivery resource locator for the assertion to a resource locator of a proxy in order to redirect the assertion to the proxy and to cause the client device to access service provider web pages and linked content through the proxy; and sending to the client device the authentication response together with the resource locator of the proxy in order to cause the client device to send the assertion to the proxy that decodes the re-written resource locator and sends the assertion to the service provider so the proxy rewrites and sends the service provider web pages and linked content to the client device.
