Abstract
An approach is presented for authenticating access by a service. The server receives a request, from a service, for the server, wherein the request includes, at least in part, a service-specific secret or a derivation of the service-specific secret. Further, the server determines to generate a server-computed secret. Then, the server determines to authenticate the request based, at least in part, on a comparison of the service-specific secret or the derivation of the service-specific secret against the server-computed secret or a derivation of the server-computed secret. The service receives credentials from a credential manager. The secret is part of the credentials. The credential manager and the server share some secret pre-configured data like key tables. The generation of the service specific secrets is based on the shared data.
