Claim 11:
12. A non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code tangible stored thereon for authenticating a service request to a cloud-based service of at least one service provider, the computer readable medium comprising:
computer program code for receiving a remote authentication request, the remote authentication request including at least an initial identifier corresponding to a user;
computer program code for extracting the initial identifier from the remote authentication request;
computer program code for determining whether the initial identifier is valid;
computer program code for retrieving an encrypted access identifier corresponding to the initial identifier, provided that the computer program code for determining has determined that the initial identifier is valid;
computer program code for forming an authentication token request, the authentication token request including at least the encrypted access identifier;
computer program code for sending the authentication token request to a gateway proxy providing a gateway to the cloud-based service of the at least one service provider;
computer program code for subsequently receiving an authentication token from the gateway proxy; and
computer program code for returning the authentication token received from the gateway proxy in response to the remote authentication request,
wherein the service request is from a local processing agent, and wherein the local processing agent is a software automation process supported by a robotic processing automation system, the robotic processing automation system supporting a plurality of software automation processes.
