Claim 9:
10. A network access server for configuring a network connection for connecting a network component to a mobile network, with an extended network access identifier, the network access server comprising:
at least one interface that is configured to:
receive the extended network access identifier from a network component; and
receive a user access profile from an access profile server, wherein the extended network access identifier comprises at least one network access restriction for connecting the network component to the mobile network, and wherein the user access profile comprises access authorizations for connecting the network component to the mobile network;
at least one processor unit that is configured to:
authenticate the network component in the mobile network when the received extended network access identifier meets the access authorizations of the received user access profile;
configure the network connection of the network component to the mobile network using the access authorization of the user access profile as soon as the network component is authenticated;
determine the at least one network access restriction received with the extended network access identifier;
verify the configured network connection of the network component to the mobile network based on the determined network access restriction;
connect the network component to the mobile network as soon as the configured network connection is verified;
configure a restricted network connection of the network component to the mobile network via the access authorizations of the user access profile and the network access restriction of the received extended network access identifier; and
connect the network component to the mobile network as soon as the restricted network connection of the network component to the mobile network is configured.
