Abstract
A system and method for delegating a user authentication process for a networked application to an authentication proxy. A networked application may request a user to provide authentication information in order to access the application. Upon receiving this authentication information from the user, the client side of the networked application sends the information to the server side of the networked application. The server side of the application may then determine an appropriate authentication agent associated with the user to delegate the authentication process to. For example, for each application user, the server side of the application may maintain information associated with the user, such as the user's employer. The application may then match this employer information to an authentication agent running in the employer's network domain, and the authentication process may then be delegated to this authentication agent.
