Data transmission system including a proxy connected to the Internet
network and at least a content server to which a user can gain access by
the intermediary of the proxy, the proxy being associated with
authentication means adapted to perform form-based authentication of the
user when receiving a user request for Internet resources therefrom and
wherein the proxy transmits the user request to the content server which
sends back a response to the proxy. The authentication means comprise a
Single Sign-On (SSO) server adapted to obtain a login form from the
content server when receiving the user request from the proxy, to fill
the login form by using the credentials associated with the user and to
send back the filled login form thereby, playing the role of the user
regarding the content server, so that the content server can provide the
requested information after authentication of the user.
