Described embodiments provide system and methods for selecting a device via which a client is to connect with a server. A client may identify a server and a plurality of devices intermediary to the client and the server via one of which the client is authenticated to connect to access the server using a certificate. The client may detect that the server is unreachable from the client authenticated to use a first connection via a first device of the plurality of devices using the certificate. The client may select, responsive to detecting that the server is unreachable, a second device of the plurality of devices via which the client is to access the server. The client may authenticate, using the certificate used to authenticate with the first device, the client to establish a second connection with the second device to access the server.

Selection of gateways for reconnection upon detection of reachability issues with backend resources

A technique for providing access to protected resources uses personal authentication tags (PATs) and enforces a requirement that a workstation sending an authentication request be trusted by a server that receives the request. Accordingly, the server allows an authentication request to proceed only when the request is received from a workstation having a trust relationship with the server. Otherwise, the server denies the authentication request. By restricting PAT-type authentication requests to trusted workstations, risks posed by malicious users are greatly reduced.
