SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-DOMAIN ACCESS CREDENTIALS OF A USER ABLE TO ACCESS A PLURALITY OF DOMAINS

摘要

A system (1) for managing multiple-domain access credentials of a user (U) enabled to access a plurality of domains (2). The system (1) comprises a credential management server (3) wherein access credentials (41) of the user (U) are separately present for each of the domains (2), each of the access credentials (41) comprising the access level (411) of the user (U) for each of the domains (2), a service device (5) for interfacing the credential management server (3) and at least a network server (6) in turn comprising applications and resources (7) related to at least a domain (2). The service device (5) is configured to send to the credential management server (3) an access request (R1) to a specific domain (21), and the credential management server (3) is configured to send to the service device (5) the access credentials (41) of the user (U) for all the domains (2); consequently the service device (5) is configured to send to the network server (6) an access request (R2) to the specific domain (21), and the network server (6) is configured to allow the user (U) access such applications and resources (7) of the specific domain (21) based on the access level (41) of the user (U).
