Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products for distributed validation of credentials are described. Upon receiving a request to perform an action by a user, a system performs a multi-part authentication where in each part, only a portion of authentication information is passed. In a first stage, an application manager of the system receives a first token than specifies partial access rights. In a second stage, a cloud controller of the system requests and receives privileges of the user separately from the first token. An API is presented with a token that only contains the authorities that the API needs, while still allowing validation of cloud controller permissions without having to escalate the user's privileges.
