Abstract
A system uses a proxy server to authenticate a client with an authentication protocol that does not support caching. Rather than cache the client's authentication credentials, or access a client account manager for each network request generated by the client, the proxy server issues a cookie to an authenticated client and authenticate the client for subsequent request on the basis of the cookie.
