Abstract
Protecting application passwords using a secure proxy. A request is received by a proxy from a client to access a protected resource located on a target server. A secure session is initiated between the proxy and client. The access request is forwarded by the proxy to the target. A response is received from the target that is a credential form. The proxy server injects into each required credential field a credential field tag and is sent to the client computer. Target credentials mapped by the credential field tags are retrieved by the proxy server from a protected datastore. The form is completed and sent to the target. If the credentials are invalid, the target credentials are updated and stored in the protected data store without client computer intervention, and sent by the proxy server to the target. The client computer is then allowed to access the protected resource.
