Abstract
A method for delegated authorization at a service communications proxy (SCP) includes intercepting, from a consumer network function (NF) that does not support access token based authorization, a service based interface (SBI) request. The method further includes operating as an access token authorization client to obtain a first access token on behalf of the consumer NF. The method further includes using the first access token to enable the consumer NF to access the service provided by a first producer NF that requires access-token-based authorization. The SCP may also function as an access token authorization server on behalf of an NRF that does not support access-token-based authorization.
