Abstract
Embodiments are directed to managing access to network resources. A first mesh agent may be configured to provide a client with access to a resource via an overlay network. The first mesh agent may determine an identity and an activity associated with requests such that the identity corresponds to an entity that may be authenticated to access the overlay network and the resource. A policy container associated with the activity may be determined based on characteristics of the requests such that the policy container may include policies associated with the activity. The requests may be validated based on the policies included in the policy container such that the validated requests may be forwarded to the resource and invalidated requests may be discarded and such that persistence of the connection may be maintained during the validation.
