Abstract
Systems and methods here may be used for authorizing network access including using by a server computer with a processor and memory, for receiving, through the gateway support node, a request to access the first network associated with the gateway support node from a client device, wherein the request includes a client device identifier, sending a validation request of the client device identifier to the data storage server, receiving a validation response based on previously registered client device identifier information and previously registered credential information from a second network, from the data storage server and sending authorization approval to the gateway support node for the client device access request to the first network.
Claims20
A method of authorizing network access, comprising:
- by a server computer with a processor and memory, the server computer in communication with a data storage server, and a gateway support node associated with a first network, the server computer processor,
- receiving, through the gateway support node, a request to access the first network associated with the gateway support node from a client device,
- wherein the request includes a client device identifier;
- sending a validation request of the client device identifier to the data storage server;
- receiving a validation response from the data storage server,
- wherein the validation response is based on previously registered client device identifier information and previously registered credential information from a second network;
- if the validation response is positive,
- receiving the previously registered credentials associated with the client device identifier from the data storage server;
- and
- sending authorization approval to the gateway support node for the client device access request to the first network;
- if the validation response is negative,
- directing the client device to a login portal for input of new credentials.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon for a method of authenticating a client device, the method comprising:
- by a server computer with a processor and memory, the server computer in communication with a data storage server, and a gateway support node associated with a first network, the server computer processor,
- receiving, through the gateway support node, a request to access the first network associated with the gateway support node from a client device,
- wherein the request includes a client device identifier;
- sending a validation request of the client device identifier to the data storage server;
- receiving a validation response from the data storage server,
- wherein the validation response is based on previously registered client device identifier information and previously registered credential information from a second network;
- if the validation response is positive,
- receiving the previously registered credentials associated with the client device identifier from the data storage server;
- and
- sending authorization approval to the gateway support node for the client device access request to the first network.
A system for authorizing network access, comprising:
- a server computer with a processor and memory, the server computer in communication with a data storage server, and a gateway support node associated with a first network, the server computer processor, the server computer to,
- receive, through the gateway support node, a request to access the first network associated with the gateway support node from a client device,
- wherein the request includes a client device identifier;
- send a validation request of the client device identifier to the data storage server;
- receive a validation response from the data storage server,
- wherein the validation response is based on previously registered client device identifier information and previously registered credential information from a second network;
- if the validation response is positive,
- receive the previously registered credentials associated with the client device identifier from the data storage server;
- and
- send authorization approval to the gateway support node for the client device access request to the first network.
