Abstract
A server in a home domain for managing the authentication of clients that are subscribers of the home domain, but are attached to a visited domain. Based on knowledge of the type of security being used in an access network of the visited domain, the server determines whether a given client is to be authenticated by the visited domain or the home domain. The server then signals the result to the visited domain.
