System and method for authenticating a user at a relying party application using an authentication application and automatically redirecting to a target application

Abstract:

A system for authenticating a user at a relying party application using an authentication application and automatically redirecting to a target application includes a processor. The processor is configured to 1) make an API call that comprises (i) an authentication challenge that corresponds to an authentication request and (ii) a call back URL that is specified by a relying party application; 2) retrieve at least one of a target application link or a null value from a table; 3) authenticating the user based on an authentication challenge response to the at least one authentication challenge; and 4) invoking the target application link from the table to automatically redirect from the authentication application to the target application specified in the target application link.
