Abstract:
1. A method for controlling access of a client system to an access protected remote resource by using a web application, wherein a client communicates via a web application with the access protected remote resource, wherein the access protected remote resource is configured so that the client system is not allowed to directly access the access protected remote resource, but that all client requests are re-routed via the web application which is authorized to access the access protected remote resource, wherein at the web application, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a response to a client request to access the access protected remote resource; identifying a reference in said response pointing to the access protected remote resource; generating a rewritten uniform resource identifier (URI) by adding a URI of the web application to an original URI for said identified reference and further generating an authentication identifier by applying an authentication process to at least a portion of said original URI; adding said generated authentication identifier to said rewritten URI and replacing said original URI with said rewritten URI; and, sending a response including each rewritten URI to the client system.
