Abstract:
1. A method of establishing a common identity for a user of a client computer in a network comprising a first domain and a second domain, the method comprising: receiving at the first domain a first request from the client computer, the first request comprising a request for content; ascertaining whether the user of the client computer has an identity associated with the first domain; and in response to ascertaining that the user does not have an identity associated with the first domain, transmitting, from the first domain to the client computer, a first identity for the user associated with the first domain and a first redirection instruction, wherein the first redirection instruction instructs the client computer to transmit a second request to the second domain to access a page on the second domain which is used for assigning user identities associated with the second domain, wherein the first redirection instruction is configured to cause the second domain to transmit to the client computer a second identity for the user associated with the second domain, and wherein the second identity for the user associated with the second domain is related to the first identity for the user associated with the first domain.
