摘要

Techniques are disclosed to provide VPN and identity based authentication to cloud-based services. In various embodiments, a request to authenticate a user to a service is received. A user identity associated with one or both of the user and the request is determined based at least in part on data comprising the request. An identity assertion is generated based at least in part on the user identity. The identity assertion is provided to a requesting node with which the request to authenticate is associated.
