Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to user authentication. In some embodiments, a computing system maintains an exception handler of a software development platform. The exception handler is executable to process a particular type of exception that causes an authentication of users of applications running on the software development platform. The computing system may receive, at the exception handler, an indication of the particular type of exception thrown by a particular application. In response to receiving the indication of the particular type of exception, the exception handler issues to a web browser interacting with the application, a request that the web browser redirect to an authentication server configured to perform an authentication of a user of the particular application. The computing system receives, from the authentication server, a result of the performed authentication and returns the result to the particular application.
