A system for providing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services, comprising:
- an external data repository;
- and
- a plurality of AAA servers coupled to said external data repository, wherein information on a current session which originated with one of said AAA servers is saved to said external data repository so as to allow any AAA server to continue said current session,
- wherein said current session information includes the following details:
- user name, IP address, a network identifier, services for which the user is assigned to, currently active services, the user Customer Relationship Management (CRM) identifier.
A system for providing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services, comprising:
- an external data repository;
- and
- a plurality of AAA servers coupled to said external data repository, wherein information on a current session which originated with one of said AAA servers is saved to said external data repository so as to allow any AAA server to continue said current session,
- wherein said external data repository is further configured to store session related actions information, the system being enabled to communicated with a non-Authentication, Authorization and Accounting AAA system;
- and is connected to an interface configured to allow said non-AAA system to request session related actions information saved in said external data repository using SQL or Web Service.
A method of enabling a non-Authentication, Authorization and Accounting AAA system to access AAA session information, comprising:
- a non-AAA system requesting session related actions-information using SQL or Web Service;
- said non-AAA system receiving the requested session related action information from an external data repository configured to store session information relating to at least one AAA server.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method of enabling a non-Authentication, Authorization and Accounting AAA system to access AAA session information, comprising:
- a non-AAA system requesting session related actions-information using SQL or Web Service;
- said non-AAA system receiving the requested session related action information from an external data repository configured to store session information relating to at least one AAA server.
