Systems and methods for performing authentication at a network device |
摘要 |
The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing authentication at a network device may include (1) storing, at a network device that handles traffic for at least one endpoint device within a network, an authentication credential associated with a user of the endpoint device, (2) detecting, at the network device, a communication between the endpoint device within the network and a cloud-based application outside the network, (3) determining, at the network device, that access to the cloud-based application is protected by an authentication process, and (4) causing the network device to complete at least a portion of the authentication process for the user by providing the authentication credential associated with the user from the network device to an identity provider of the cloud-based application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed. |

1. A computer-implemented method for performing authentication at a network device, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
storing, at a router that forwards traffic received from at least one endpoint device within a network, an authentication credential associated with a user of the endpoint device, wherein the endpoint device is not designed for user interaction and does not provide user interfaces that enable users to efficiently complete authentication processes; detecting, at the router, a communication between the endpoint device within the network and a cloud-based application outside the network; determining, at the router, that access to the cloud-based application is protected by an authentication process; and causing the router to complete at least a portion of the authentication process for the user by providing the authentication credential associated with the user from the router to an identity provider of the cloud-based application. |
