Abstract

A system, medium and method for dynamically constructing a service principal name is disclosed. A client request from a user to access a service is received at a network traffic management device which identifies an internet protocol (IP) address of a selected backend server to provide the requested service to the client. The network traffic management device identifies a hostname of the selected backend server based at least on the identified IP address and dynamically generates a service principal name (SPN) of the selected backend server based on the determined host name. The network traffic management device obtains a service ticket from a domain controller server using at least the generated SPN of the selected backend server. The network traffic management device uses the obtained service ticket along with the client request to provide the user access to the selected backend server for the client request.
