Abstract
A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed towards reducing a number of login web pages served by a server device over an end-to-end encrypted connection. In one embodiment, a TMD intercepts and processes requests for content addressed to the server device. The TMD may serve a stored copy of a login page corresponding to the requested content to the client device. In response, the client device may submit login information associated with the login page to the TMD. The TMD may extract the login information from the submitted response and send a request to the server device to authenticate the client device based on the extracted login information. If the client device is authenticated, the TMD may transmit a ‘login successful’ page to the client device.
