Method for verifying the authentication of a manager application in a telecommunications management network operating system by means of a network element and network element suitable therefor

摘要

Network elements in telecommunications networks are managed via an operating system which is connected to the network elements. The operating system is formed from a large number of manager applications which communicate with the network elements. In the course of such communication, it is possible to provide for the authentication of a manager application to be checked by means of a network element. According to the invention, this authentication check is carried out centrally in the network element for various communication protocols, with access being made to a central authentication databank 10.
