Abstract
Disclosed are various approaches for implementing an application authentication wrapper. An authentication request, such as a Kerberos request, is created for authenticating the computing device. The authentication request is encrypted to generate an encrypted authentication request. The encrypted authentication request is then forwarded to a reverse proxy server. An encrypted authentication response is received from the reverse proxy server. The encrypted authentication response, such as a Kerberos response, is then decrypted to generate a corresponding authentication response, which is then forwarded to the computing device that generated the authentication request.
