Abstract
Providing a supplicant access to at least one requested service is described. An authentication request is received, wherein the authentication request comprises an association request and an identifier to a requested service. A relationship between the supplicant and the requested service based on the association request is created. Then, the association request for the requested service is fulfilled and an authentication server based upon the requested service identified in the authentication request is determined. Finally, the supplicant is authenticated for the requested service.
