Abstract
A method and system to support multiple chains of authentication modules. The method may include receiving a user login request, and identifying multiple chains of authentication modules to be performed prior to allowing a user to login, where each chain of authentication modules is associated with a chain manager. The method further includes determining dependencies between chain managers, invoking the chain managers in the order defined by the dependencies, and responding to the user login request based on execution results of the authentication modules.
