You are an enterprise application developer. You are developing several Web services that are accessed by smart client applications. The Web services might be installed on different Web servers. The smart client applications must authenticate users by using credentials issued by a single sign-on service. The single sign-on service was developed by a different group in your organization.
The security policy of the application includes the following requirements:
