Abstract
A cloud-based method, a system, and a cloud-based security system include receiving a request from a user for a cloud application at a proxy server; determining whether the user is authenticated based on a presence of cookies in the request; if the cookies are present, un-transforming the cookies by the proxy server and forwarding the request with the un-transformed cookies to the cloud application; and, if the cookies are not present, forwarding the request to the cloud application by the proxy server for authentication and transforming the cookies subsequent to the authentication prior to sending the cookies to the user.
