The disclosed technology provides for authenticating access to servers using enterprise credentials. A method can include: generating, by a client device operating within an enterprise environment, a request to access a destination server including a token authenticating a user of the client device, transmitting the request to a computer system that can use the token to obtain the SSH certificate signed by an SSH certificate authority (CA), retrieve, from a data store, authorized group information for the user based on the token, and mint the SSH certificate with the retrieved information. The method can include receiving the SSH certificate with the authorized group information and returning the request and the SSH certificate with the authorized group information to a server to access the destination server. The server can be preconfigured with authorized group credentials corresponding to destination servers, which can include the destination server.

Authorizing and initiating secure tunneling and user-access to servers based on user group authorization information in secure communication certificates

A computer-implemented method includes a proxy receiving an authorization message from a load balancer and the proxy selecting an authorization cell from a plurality of authorization cells designated for the proxy in response to receiving the authorization message. The proxy sending a second authorization message to the selected authorization cell and the proxy receiving a response message from the selected cell, wherein the response message corresponds to the second authorization message. The proxy then sending a second response message to the load balancer in response to receiving the response message.
