Claim 4:
5. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for providing adaptive authentication for federated environment comprising executable code which when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:
receive a request to access an application from a client;
identify a web application server in which the requested application is executing and obtaining data associated with the requesting client;
generate a federated authentication request comprising an index unique to the identified web application server and the obtained client data, wherein the index is mapped to an access policy within a memory of the web application server;
authenticate the requesting client on a separate IDP server using the generated authentication request by using a federated token that maps to the identified web application server, the requested application, and the obtained client data and by using the mapping between the index and the access policy; and
validate the authentication prior to providing the client access to the application, wherein the validating the authentication further comprises sending a communication to the identified web application server to verify an assertion or the federated token of the generated authentication request.
