Zusammenfassung:A method for use in granting access to a target to a user device, comprising: receiving at a proxy a request to access the target; forwarding by the proxy the access request to a security broker when the user device is verified by the proxy to know a prescribed secret, wherein the request is forwarded so as to appear to originate from a prescribed set of internet protocol (IP) addresses that the security broker recognizes as trusted; receiving by the proxy from the security broker (i) an access token, the access token being submittable to the target by the user device to gain access thereto and (ii) instructions for transmission to the user device for causing the user device to be redirected to an address indicating the requested target; and transmitting by the proxy toward the user device the access token and the instructions.
