Abstract
Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide authentication for a software service. In some aspects, an identity provider (IDP) receives an identity authentication request from a client device. The IDP transmits an on-premises verification initiation request for a digest authentication to on-premises directory provider (OPDP). The IDP receives an on-premises verification initiation request. The an on-premises verification initiation request includes one or more digest authentication attributes. The IDP transmits the one or more digest authentication attributes. The IDP receives a digest, wherein the digest is calculated based on the one or more digest authentication attributes and one or more identity authentication credentials. The IDP transmits the digest, and receives an on-premises verification response that indicates a result of the digest authentication.
