  • Patent number: 11784999
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to credential management for distributed services. A plurality of mesh agents for an overlay network may be provided such that the overlay network may be employed to provide a secure tunnel between a client and a resource server. If client request that requires user credentials is provided to a mesh agent associated with the resource server, credential instructions may be provided to the mesh agent and the credential instructions may be employed to determine credential information that enables access to the resource server. The mesh agent may be employed to communicate the client request and the credential information to the resource server; determining a response to the client request from the resource server; employing the mesh agent to receive a response to the client request from the resource server and forwarded to the client over the overlay network.
