Abstract
A network access service operates as an intermediary between client applications and network services. The network access service is configured to perform one or more authentication processes required by the network services on behalf of the client applications. This includes the network access service obtaining and managing access tokens on behalf of the client applications. The network access service reuses access tokens and automatically acquires new access tokens upon expiration. The network access service is also configured to format data from a client application into a format required by a network service and to provide application program interface and language support required by a network service.
