US Patent 10931662 Methods for ephemeral authentication screening and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that receive a directory service authentication request from an application. The directory service authentication request comprising a first password. The first password is compared to a stored second password received from a previously-authenticated client to determine when there is a match. A positive authentication result is returned to the application in response to the directory service authentication request, when the determining indicates that there is a match. This technology advantageously facilitates client certificate authentication for applications that only support password-based login.
