Abstract:
Disclosed are various approaches for extending a single sign-on (SSO) session to multiple devices. If a device is enrolled as a managed device with a management service, a SSO session can be extended to the device if the user has previously authenticated with an identity provider from another device. The user is authenticated on the second device using a user-and-device token issued by the management service with which the device is enrolled as a managed device.
