Methods for temporal password injection and devices thereof

Abstract:

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that receive a request from a client to log into an application hosted by an application server. A determination is made when the client is authenticated in response to the request. Attribute(s) are extracted from the request, when the determining indicates that the client is authenticated. A first password is generated for the client. A record for the client stored at a global catalog server is identified based on the extracted attributes and the generated first password is injected into the identified record. Credential(s) including at least the generated first password are sent to the application hosted by the application server. This technology advantageously facilitates hosting of applications that support password-based login in networks that do not allow password use even when application servers hosting the applications cannot be steered to particular directory services for authentication.
