Abstract
A method for enforcing access control to a web application. The method includes generating a computationally-secure pseudo-random password, associating the generated computationally-secure pseudo-random password with an application username of at least one web client, and storing, in a user account credential store module, the generated computationally-secure pseudo-random password and the associated application username. The method also includes requesting, via a web proxy connected to the at least one web client, access to a protected page offered by the web application, intercepting, by the web proxy, a login page from the web application, and inserting, by the web proxy on behalf of the at least one web client, the stored generated computationally-secure pseudo-random password and the associated application username into the login page. The method also includes forwarding the login page with the inserted computationally-secure pseudo-random password and the associated application username to the web application to complete, by the web proxy, an authentication process with the web application to allow the at least one web client to access the protected page offered by the web application.
