Claim 6:
7. A method for managing user authentication credentials in relation to different types of core networks, CNs, the method performed by a translator function associated with a second CN and comprising:
receiving, from a data management node associated with a first CN that is different from the second CN, a request to provide user authentication credentials associated with the first CN;
retrieving user authentication credentials associated with the second CN;
translating the retrieved user authentication credentials into user authentication credentials associated with the first CN; and
providing the translated user authentication credentials to the data management nod, such that the user is authenticated for access via the second CN in response to:
decrypting the translated user authentication credentials;
generating authentication vectors; and
authenticating the user based on the generated authentication vectors.
