1. A proxy system comprising:

  • at least one processor configured to;

    receive from a client, via a native protocol, a first access request requesting access by the client to a target application;

    determine target application access credentials based at least in part on the first access request and a policy enforced by the proxy system, wherein the target application access credentials are effective to authenticate the proxy system to the target application;

    provide to the target application a second access request requesting access to the target application, wherein the second access request comprises the target application access credentials; and

    responsive to the proxy system being authenticated to the target application based on the target application access credentials, establish access for the client to the target application through the proxy system and via the native protocol, wherein the access is consistent with the policy and is established based on the target application access credentials, and the client is not exposed to the target application access credentials.
