Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for delegating authentication to certificate authorities. A first request for a certificate is received from a client device. Then a certificate request can be created. The certificate request may include a credential identifier for a certificate authority. The credential identifier may uniquely identify an authentication credential to use to request the certificate from certificate authority. The certificate request can then be added to a message queue. Later, a second request from another computing device is received and the message stored in the message queue is provided in response. A certificate is then received from the other computing device and is provided to the client device in response to the first request.
