Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide approaches for user access control to a secured application. Specifically, a custom authentication tool is configured to intercept a request from a user for access to a secured application and override one or more default requirements (e.g., application pre-registration, for accessing the application). That is, when credentials of the user are received at the authentication tool, they are verified against data within a user directory to generate a user profile, which is then provided to the secured application to satisfy the requirements for granting access to the user. As such, the secured application's requirements are met, yet users do not have to manually pre-register to obtain access because the registration is performed in the background by the authentication tool.
