Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for secure authentication of a managed application. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises receiving, by a cloud platform, a request from a managed application to connect to a middleware service, determining that the managed application is authenticated to use the middleware service based on the secret, obtaining a secret associated with the managed application and the middleware service from a secret store, connecting to the middleware service using the secret to establish a secure connection, and delegating, to the managed application, the secure connection between the managed application and the middleware service.
