Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0188733A1] A method and system for commingling proprietary information and presenting it to a user (300). The user (300) is only able to view information from hub participants with whom he has an active account. The present invention allows a user (300) to access proprietary information from several distinct entities through a single sign-on. The user (300) enters his user authentication information once. After signing on with one server (310), the user (300) can access resources on a second server (320, 340, 350) without signing on again. The first server (310) generates an URL string containing user authentication information that is provided to the second server (320, 340, 350). The user (300) can access the resources on the second server (320, 340, 350) seamlessly. The user (300) is able to view commingled information (210) through the system of the present invention using a persistent navigator bar to move to the websites of hub participants. The system of the present invention generates a cross-reference list of hub participants and hub-enabled users in order to determine which information is available to users.
