Abstract
A method comprises obtaining, from a client device, a first set of application authentication credentials formatted in accordance with a first authentication protocol. The first set of application authentication credentials corresponds to a first user profile. The method includes translating the first set of application authentication credentials to a second set of application authentication credentials. The second set of application authentication credentials is formatted in accordance with a second authentication protocol different from the first authentication protocol and corresponds to the first user profile. The method includes providing the second set of application authentication credentials to an application authentication system. The method includes, in response to providing the second set of application authentication credentials to the application authentication system, obtaining, from the application authentication system, an application authentication indicator. In response to determining that the application authentication indicator indicates a successful authentication, granting the client device network access.
