Abstract
Technology related to authentication using an intermediary is disclosed. In one example, a method for authentication can include intercepting a first authentication response destined for a server. The first authentication response identifies a server authentication service and is digitally signed by an identity service provider. The first authentication response can be authenticated using a cryptographic key of the identity service provider to validate an identity service provider signature included in the first authentication response. In response to validating the identity service provider signature, a second authentication response can be sent to the server that identifies the server authentication service.
