Abstract
A network-based application can establish a secure network connection to a switch. A unique identifier (UID) is generated for the network-based application, and a secure authentication request is generated from the network-based application. The UID for the network-based application is embedded in the secure authentication request. The secure authentication request is communicated to the switch. A response to the secure authentication request is received from the switch. One or more operations are performed that utilize the UID to establish a secure communication channel between the network-based application and the switch.
