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.

1. A method of providing a certificate for certificate based network access in response to a third party request comprising:
identifying a first system having at least one processor and a plurality of users, each user having at least one attribute; receiving from a third party at least one required attribute for certificate based network access; querying the first system to determine at least a first subset of users having the at least one required attribute, the querying performed by other than one of the plurality of users of the first system; and providing from a system other than the first system, as requested by the third party a certificate with at least one characteristic for certificate based network access on a second system having at least one processor to each user of the first subset of users having the at least one required attribute, the second system distinct from the first system.
