System and method for providing a certificate to a user request

摘要

Provided is a system and method for providing a certificate, and more specifically a certificate for network access upon a second system based on at least one criteria and an established identity with a first system. The method includes receiving criteria, such as at least one predefined attribute. Also received from a user known to a first system is a request for network access to a second system, the request having at least one identifier. The first system is then queried with the identifier for attributes associated with the user. The attributes associated with the user are evaluated to the predefined attribute(s). In response to at least one attribute associated with the user correlating to the predefined attribute(s), providing a certificate with at least one characteristic for network access on the second system to the user. An associated system for providing a Certificate is also provided.

1. A method of providing a certificate for certificate based wireless network access comprising:
receiving from a user by way of a computing device authenticated to a remote first system a request for access to a second system remote from the first system, the request having at least one identifier, wherein the access is certificate based wireless network access; receiving at an authorizing system from a third party at least one predefined attribute as criteria for receiving a certificate; querying, by the authorizing system, the first system with the at least one identifier for attributes associated with the user; evaluating, by the authorizing system, the attributes associated with the user to the at least one predefined attribute; providing the user with an X.509 certificate with at least one characteristic derived from the attributed associated with the user for certificate based wireless network access on a secured wireless network of the second system in response to at least one attribute associated with the user correlating to at least one predefined attribute, wherein a first user having a first set of correlating attributes is provided with a certificate permitting different access than a second user having a second set of correlating attributes, the first and second sets being different with respect to at least one correlated attribute; and enabling a level of access to the secured wireless network of the second system based on the certificate.
