Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for an identity broker to authenticate users to a network device, system, or hosted application that uses certain legacy protocols for user authentication. For example, the identity broker may be configured to respond to a user authentication request from a network device formatted as a RADIUS or LDAP message. The identity broker may operate in conjunction with an identity provider to authenticate a user requesting access to a computing resource (e.g., to the network device, system, or hosted application).
