Embodiments are directed to a multi-tenant cloud system. Embodiments receive a request for an authentication action for a user and create an authenticate target action. Embodiments register a cache listener to listen for a target action response that is responsive to the authenticate target action and initiate the authentication action for the user at an on-premise active directory (“AD”) via a bridge. Embodiments wait for a cache callback and, at the cache callback, receive a target action response comprising a result of the authentication action.
