Providing credentials
First Claim
1. A method for providing credentials for using a service in a first data network from a second data network, where there is a data transmission connection to the first data network via a gateway, the method comprising:
- performing a login by the user to the gateway with a user identifier, transmitting said user identifier from the second data network via a gateway to an authentication server, verifying the user identifier in said authentication server, sending information on a successful login to the gateway, storing information connected to the credentials in connection with the authentication server, wherein the method comprises transmitting the information connected to the credentials from the authentication server to the gateway in connection with said login, and transmitting the credentials from the gateway to said service in the first data network.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system for providing credentials for using a service in a first data network. The user logs in to a second data network with a user identifier, which is transmitted from the second network via a gateway to an authentication server, where the user identifier is verified and information on a successful login is sent to the gateway. Information connected to the credentials is stored in connection with the authentication server, in which case the information connected to the credentials is transmitted from the authentication server to the gateway in the login phase. From the gateway the credentials are transmitted to the service in the first data network. The invention also relates to a authentication server to be used in the system, and a gateway.
