Abstract:
Authentication problems often occur when a user of a terminal visits a communications network while roaming. A method is therefore provided for authorizing an authenticated user of a communications terminal. The terminal is configured to connect to a packet-switching network via an access gateway over a current network to which the terminal is connected. The method is implemented by a current authentication server over the current network and includes: receipt of a user authorization request from the access gateway, including an identifier of the user; transmission of a user authorization response to the access gateway, including parameters for authorizing the user, and a unique identifier of an authentication server that authenticated the user.

Claim (Index 7):
A system for identifying authentication servers comprising:\n an authorization device for authorizing an authenticated user of a communications terminal, the terminal being configured to connect to a packet switching network through an access gateway to which the terminal is attached in a current network, the authorization device being implemented by a current authentication server in the current network and comprising: a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor configure the authorization device to perform acts comprising:\n receiving a user authorization request originating from the access gateway, comprising an identifier of the user, \n sending a user authorization response destined for the access gateway, comprising authorization parameters in respect of the user, and a unique identifier of an authentication server that authenticated the user, \n and, if the current authentication server is in a visited network which is visited by the terminal, and if the user has been authenticated by another authentication server in a home network of the terminal, the following acts:\n transmitting the authorization request to the other authentication server, \n obtaining an item of information relating to an authorization to allocate an anchor gateway situated in the visited network and intended to connect the user terminal to the packet switching network, and \n including in the user authorization response a unique address of the current authentication server; \n a connection device for connecting the terminal of the user to an anchor gateway connected to the packet switching network, being implemented by the access gateway to which the terminal is attached and comprising:\n a processor; and \n a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor configure the connection device to perform acts comprising:\n sending the user authorization request comprising the identifier of the user, destined for the current authentication server, \n receiving the user authorization response originating from the current authentication server, comprising the unique identifier of the authentication server that authenticated the user, \n sending a connection request to the anchor gateway, to connect the terminal to the packet switching network, comprising the unique identifier of the authentication server that authenticated the user; and \n \n a registration device for registering the anchor gateway and comprising:\n a processor; and \n a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor configure the registration device to perform acts comprising:\n receiving the connection request in respect of the terminal, originating from the access gateway to which the terminal is attached, comprising the unique identifier of the authentication server that previously authenticated the user, \n sending a registration request to the authentication server that previously authenticated the user.
