Technique for creation and linking of communications network user accounts

摘要

A technique for linking an account at a service provider with a master account previously generated by an identity provider is disclosed. The technique includes the steps of receiving, by the identity provider, a request for access, whereby the identity provider determines which data is required to generate a new account by the service provider. Next, the identity provider acquires data required to generate the new account and sends such data to the service provider. Thereafter, the identity provider associates the master account with the new account generated by the service provider.
