Abstract: An authentication scheme may be utilized for a single sign-on operation between servers. One or more servers (e.g., a SHAREPOINT server) receives a data request directed to a disparate server (e.g., an SAP server). A root certificate (e.g., an X.509 root certificate) is loaded for accessing the disparate server. A user certificate is dynamically generated for identifying a logged-in user. The user certificate is signed with the root certificate and sent to the disparate server for binding with the data request. The data request is sent to the disparate server for authentication using the user certificate. The disparate server accesses a mapping table to map a subject name in the user certificate. When an entry for the logged-in user is found in the mapping table, data operations are enabled between the servers. An open web protocol response containing the requested data is then received from the disparate server.
