Abstract
A system performs authentication for real-time communications (RTC). The system receives a request from a browser application for web authentication of a user. The system then performs the web authentication by a security provider by reaching a first resource, where the security provider determines a security principal for the user. Subsequently, the system executes a security Groovy script to obtain an identity mapping from a second resource different than the first resource, where the identity mapping maps the security principal to an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) identity. The system then provides the identity mapping to a runtime Groovy script.
