Authentication of a user of a communication system comprising a session control server and an authentication server, wherein the communication system supports at least two separate authentication schemes, comprising the steps of determining, at the session control server, that a registration request from the user to be authenticated leaves undefined the authentication scheme to be used for authenticating the user; and inquiring, from the authentication server, which authentication scheme is to be used for authenticating the user, said inquiring being based on an identity of the user and pre-stored information at the authentication server on a mapping between user identities and usable authentication schemes.
