Summary:Methods and apparatus provide server services on a client for disconnected login on the client. Users execute a connected login sequence between the client and the server according to one of many strong authentication protocols. During such time, information on the server necessary for a successful execution of the strong authentication protocol is determined and provided to the client where it is stored in a local instance. Users thereafter disconnect from the server and login locally on the client Login information, locally provided, is verified against the information of the server so provided to the client. In this manner, users can be authenticated with a strong protocol, beyond mere password information. They can be strongly authenticated when logging-in to a laptop computing device, for example, when in a location not able to connect to a network appliance, such as a server.
