Abstract
Techniques of dynamic authentication scheme selection in distributed computing systems are disclosed herein. One example technique includes analyzing a received authentication request for an indicator of an authentication scheme that is supported by a computing service submitting the authentication request. The example technique can also include determining whether the authentication scheme associated with the indicator is also supported by the authentication service and in response to determining that the authentication scheme associated with the indicator is also supported by the authentication service, initiating an authentication process with the computing service according to the authentication scheme that is supported by both the computing service and the authentication service. As such, the authentication scheme can be dynamically selected at the authentication service for the received authentication request.
