摘要

A method of multi-domain authorization/authentication on a computer network comprises: a user making a request to a policy enforcement point of a computer for access to information on the computer; providing a location address for a user's authorization and/or authentication information, a policy decision point of the service on the computer network then verifying the authorization/authentication information; and the user being given access by the PEP to the information or the service requested, if the request is accepted, wherein the user's authorization/authentication and/or further information is located on a meta policy decision point (MPDP).
