Abstract:
Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating modular security delegates for application instances, including, for example, applications usable on physical machines, virtualized environments, in the cloud, etc. According to embodiments, in a multiple network environment, multiple machines (or clients) can be configured, each having a defined security level. Each machine can include a plurality of application instances and corresponding security delegates for various defined security levels. For example, the defined security levels can be based on various authentication mechanisms, including, Kerberos, NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication protocol, secure sockets layer/transport security layer (SSL/TSL), token authentication, virtual private network (VPN), remote access security (RAS), digest authentication, etc.
