Abstract
An approach is provided for distributed output device credential caching. An output device authenticates a user for accessing the output device. The output device receives a request to access a protected remote resource. The output device determines that credentials, for accessing the protected remote resource, are not stored at the output device. The output device retrieves data that specifies output device peers. The output device obtains the credentials by querying the output device peers specified by the data that specifies the output device peers. The output device verifies that the credentials are currently valid for the protected remote resource. The output device services the request by accessing the protected remote resource using the credentials.
