Abstract
Techniques for controlling authentication are provided. An enterprise injects a control and/or audit manager into the enterprise environment to control and in some instances audit third-party authentication services. A user attempts to access a resource that uses a third-party authentication service. The attempt is intercepted and third-party authentication handled by the manager. After authentication, a session between the user and the resource is established during which auditing services may be enacted. The user authenticates to the enterprise environment and the manager provides authentication for the user to the resource via the third-party authentication service.
