Abstract
A network traffic monitoring system for redirecting network traffic between a client device and a cloud service includes a monitor proxy server configured as a network intermediary between the client device and a federated identity provider and between the client device and the cloud service. The monitor proxy server is configured to receive a redirect response generated by the federated identity provider upon user authentication. The monitor proxy server is configured to rewrite the redirect web address to the web address of the monitor proxy server. The monitor proxy server is further configured to rewrite a response web address in network communications between the cloud service and the client device to the web address of the monitor proxy server. As a result, network traffic between the cloud service and the client device is routed through the monitor proxy server after user authentication by the federated identity provider.
