Abstract
A method and system for accessing local resources. The method includes intercepting, by a proxy, a request from an application to access a local resource, where the application is executing in an application virtual machine (AVM) on a computing device and where the proxy is executing on a service virtual machine (SVM) on the computing device. The method further includes replacing, by the proxy, a placeholder credential in the request with a local resource credential to obtain a second request. The method also includes sending, by the proxy, the second request to the local resource, receiving, by the proxy, a response to the second request from the local resource, and providing the response to the application.
