A method for implementing unified authentication for user logon, the
method comprising the steps of: establishing an authentication server;
creating a user authentication account number in the authentication
server; storing user information which the user uses in a plurality of
systems into the authentication server; associating, in the
authentication server, the created user authentication account number
with the user information which the user uses in the plurality of
systems; and providing an authentication flag to the client of the user
by the authentication server based on the association between the user
authentication account number and the user information which the user
uses in the plurality of systems established in the authentication server
so that the user can log on the plurality of systems using the
authentication flag. The present invention is applied to provide a
unified mechanism of user logon authentication in integration and
mergence of the service processes provided by a plurality of Internet
information systems or Internet providers, and thus the user can access
all authorized application systems or service providers with only one
logon authentication.
