Abstract
A proxy server mitigates security risks of user credentials sent across a network in clear text. The proxy server encrypts user credentials within a client application request destined for an application server. The proxy server forwards the client application request to the application server. The application server sends the encrypted user credentials to the proxy server where the proxy server decrypts the user credentials and authenticates the user credentials with an authentication server.
