1. A method, comprising:

  • intercepting, by an identity mapping system, a user request submitted from a client device through an application program to a distributed computing system that provides a plurality of services, the user request being associated with user credentials, wherein the identity mapping system intercepts the user request at a protocol level that is outside of the application program;

    determining, by the identity mapping system, a user protocol in which the client device submitted the user request;

    authenticating the user request based on the user credentials;

    upon successfully authenticating the user request, determining, by the identity mapping system, a service of the services that the user request is authorized to access;

    determining service credentials associated with the service;

    generating a service request by the identity mapping system, including translating the user protocol of the user request to a service protocol associated with the service at least in part by associating the service credentials with the service request; and

    submitting the service request by the identity mapping system to the distributed computing system, wherein the identity mapping system includes one or more computer processors.
