Abstract
A system and method are provided to allow access to one or more computing resources using a single authentication scheme even though some of the computing resources may support different authentication schemes. In various embodiments, upon receiving a user request to access one or more computing resources, a first authentication credential according to a first authentication scheme is generated subsequent to successful authentication of the user. If processing of the request requires a second authentication credential according to a second authentication scheme, the second credential may be encapsulated in the first authentication credential and later extracted and combined with additional information, if necessary, for providing the requested access to the one or more computing resources.
