An arrangement to accomplish authentication of end-users ( 1 ) and end-points ( 1 ) in a packet based network, which includes components that support all or parts of different versions of the H.323 recommended standard, be proposed. Authentication is accomplished by means of an authentication proxy ( 2 ), which will support security profiles supported by one or more associated gatekeepers ( 3 ). Provision of end-user ( 1 ) and end-point information for an authentication proxy ( 2 ) may be accomplished by means of standard non-proprietary communication and protocol such as http or https and a simple html form, an applet or a servlet respectively, and for a gatekeeper ( 3 ) by means of a RAS message such as gatekeeper request (GRQ). |
