Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method of accepting a remote access at a target machine from a source machine, wherein the source machine is remote from the target machine, and wherein the source and target machines are coupled over a network, the method comprising: receiving a login request at a processor circuit of the target machine through a network interface of the target machine from the source machine over the network, wherein the login request includes a user identification for the target machine; responsive to accepting the login request, providing at the processor circuit of the target machine a session through the network interface over the network between the source and target machines using the user identification for the target machine; receiving from the source machine a user identification for the source machine at the processor circuit of the target machine through the network interface over the network, locking the user identification for the source machine at the processor circuit of the target machine so that the user identification for the source machine is associated with actions of the target machine relating to the session between the source and target machines, wherein the target machine comprises a first target machine and the session comprises a first session, the method further comprising: transmitting from the processor circuit through the network interface over the network a second login request to a second target machine from the first target machine, wherein the second login request includes a user identification for the second target machine, wherein the first target machine is remote from the second target machine, and wherein the first and second target machines are coupled over the network; providing at the processor circuit through the network interface a second session over the network between the first and second target machines using the user identification for the second target machine; and transmitting from the processor circuit through the network interface the user identification for the source machine over the second session to the second target machine, wherein the user identification for the source machine and the user identification for the first target machine are different, wherein the user identification for the first target machine and the user identification for the second target machine are different, and wherein the user identification for the source machine and the user identification for the second target machine are different.
