More Information
Summary:A method is disclosed that provides efficient integration of infrastructure for federated single sign on, e.g. Liberty ID-FF framework, and generic bootstrapping architecture, e.g. 3GPP GAA/GBA architecture. An integrated proxy server (IAP) is inserted in the path between a user and a service provider (SP). The proxy server differentiates type of access and determines corresponding operative state to act as a liberty enabled server or as a GAA/GBA network application function. A Bootstrapping, Identity, Authentication and Session Management arrangement (BIAS) leverages on 3GPP GAA/GBA infrastructure to provide an integrated system for handling Liberty Federated SSO and 3GPP GAA/GBA bootstrapping procedures at the same time. The method and arrangement provides improved use of infrastructure elements and performance for authenticated service access.
