Abstract
In various embodiments, techniques for flexible resource authentication are provided. A principal attempts to login to a target resource using first credentials. The target resource does not recognize the first credentials and in response thereto forwards the first credentials to an identity service. The identity service authenticates the principal via the first credentials and supplies second credentials to the target resource. The target resource recognizes and authenticates the second credentials and grants access to the principal.
