Summary:In general, in one aspect, embodiments relate to receiving, by a system comprising one or more network devices, a first client authentication information comprising a first indication that a first client device was successfully authenticated by a first authentication server based on credentials provided by the first client device, and forwarding, by the system, the first client authentication information to a second authentication server without determining that the client device was already successfully authenticated by the first authentication server based on the credentials provided by the first client device. The operations further include receiving, by the system from the second authentication server, a second indication that the first client device was successfully authenticated, and based on the second indication received by the system from the second authentication server, granting, by the system, network access to the first client device.
