IMS Guest Registration for Non-IMS Users
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for IMS guest registration for non-IMS users are provided. The method may be performed by receiving a registration request from a non-IMS user for access to an IMS network, the registration request indicating a domain name of a non-IMS system; determining whether the domain name indicated by the registration request matches a wildcard identifier, wherein the wildcard identifier may be indicative of a non-IMS system authorized to access the IMS network; and initiating a guest registration process if the domain name matches the wildcard identifier. The non-IMS user is authenticated in the IMS network via a non-IMS authentication entity.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving a registration request from a non-IMS user for access to an IMS network, the registration request indicating a domain name of a non-IMS system;
determining whether the domain name indicated by the registration request matches a wildcard identifier; and
initiating a guest registration process if the domain name matches the wildcard identifier.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wildcard identifier being indicative of a non-IMS system authorized to access the IMS network.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wildcard identifier comprises a user portion including a wildcard indicator and a host portion including a domain name for a non-IMS system authorized to use the IMS network.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating the domain name indicated by the registration request with a guest profile and authorization parameters.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration request includes an authentication credential for the non-IMS user.
6 . The method of claim 5 further comprising:
validating the authentication credential of the non-IMS user; and
generating a guest registration entry for the non-IMS user for access to the IMS network.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising accessing a non-IMS server to validate the authentication credential.
8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising storing the guest registration entry for the non-IMS user.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the guest registration entry is based on a unique PUID for the non-IMS user.
10 . A system comprising:
a server adapted to:
receive a registration request from a non-IMS user for access to an IMS network, the registration request indicating a domain name of a non-IMS system;
determine whether the domain name indicated by the registration request matches a wildcard identifier; and
initiate a guest registration process if the domain name matches the wildcard identifier.
11 . The server of claim 10 , wherein the wildcard identifier being indicative of a non-IMS system authorized to access the IMS network.
12 . The server of claim 10 , wherein the wildcard identifier comprises a user portion including a wildcard indicator and a host portion including a domain name for a non-IMS system authorized to use the IMS network.
13 . The server of claim 10 , further adapted to associate the domain name indicated by the registration request with a guest profile and authorization parameters.
14 . The server of claim 10 , wherein the registration request includes an authentication credential for the non-IMS user.
15 . The server of claim 14 further adapted to:
validate the authentication credential of the non-IMS user; and
generate a guest registration entry for the non-IMS user for access to the IMS network.
16 . The server of claim 15 , further adapted to access a non-IMS server to validate the authentication credential.
17 . The server of claim 15 , further adapted to store the guest registration entry for the non-IMS user.
18 . The server of claim 15 , wherein the guest registration entry is based on a unique PUID for the non-IMS user.
19 . An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that in response to execution by a computing device causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a registration request from a non-IMS user for access to an IMS network, the registration request indicating a domain name of a non-IMS system;
determining whether the domain name indicated by the registration request matches a wildcard identifier; and
initiating a guest registration process if the domain name matches the wildcard identifier.
20 . The article of manufacture of claim 19 , wherein the wildcard identifier being indicative of a non-IMS system authorized to access the IMS network.
21 . The article of manufacture of claim 19 , wherein the wildcard identifier comprises a user portion including a wildcard indicator and a host portion including a domain name for a non-IMS system authorized to use the IMS network.
22 . The article of manufacture of claim 19 , further comprising associating the domain name indicated by the registration request with a guest profile and authorization parameters.
23 . The article of manufacture of claim 19 , wherein the registration request includes an authentication credential for the non-IMS user.
24 . The article of manufacture of claim 23 further comprising:
validating the authentication credential of the non-IMS user; and
generating a guest registration entry for the non-IMS user for access to the IMS network.
25 . The article of manufacture of claim 24 , further comprising accessing a non-IMS server to validate the authentication credential.
26 . The article of manufacture of claim 24 , further comprising storing the guest registration entry for the non-IMS user.
27 . The article of manufacture of claim 24 , wherein the guest registration entry is based on a unique PUID for the non-IMS user.
