METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ON-DEMAND CLIENT-INITIATED PROVISIONING
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a client-based trigger for requesting a provisioning of a client device to access a network;
a processing of the client-based trigger to generate a provisioning request;
network provisioning information based, at least in part, on the provisioning request; and
a processing of the network provisioning information to gain access to the network.

Abstract
An approach is presented for client initiated provisioning. A provisioning manager determines a client-based trigger for requesting a provisioning of a client device to access a network. The provisioning manager processes and/or facilitates a processing of the client-based trigger to generate a provisioning request, and then causes, at least in part, transmission of the provisioning request to a provisioning server associated with the network. The provisioning manager receives provisioning information from the provisioning server for processing to gain access to the network.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine a client-based trigger for requesting a provisioning of a client device to access a network; process and/or facilitate a processing of the client-based trigger to generate a provisioning request; determine network provisioning information based, at least in part, on the provisioning request; and process and/or facilitate a processing of the network provisioning information to gain access to the network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
