D.2 Implicit authentication and authorization

28.5333GPPArchitecture frameworkManagement and orchestrationRelease 17TS

Precondition:

A centralized authentication service producer, e.g. LDAP server, is deployed in operator’s network and will be used by MnS Producer to perform authentication. MnS Consumer does not interact directly with authenication service producer.

Authentication service producer contains authentication information required for MnS Producer to perform authentication such as MnS Consumer identities (including credentials) and/or groups. The specific information required will depend on the implementation.

MnS Producer has been configured to use the centralized authentication service producer.

MnS Producer optionally has support for local authentication, i.e. in event centralized authentication service is unavailable.

MnS Producer has been configured with access rules, used for local enforcement based on MnS Consumer access privileges.

Procedure:

Session Initiation:

101. MnS Consumer initiates a management session towards MnS Producer. As part of session establishment credentials are exchanged.

102. Based on credentials in the request, MnS Producer accesses Authentication Service Producer to verify the identity, and information required to perform access control including the associated group(s) of the identity.

103. If Authentication Service Producer is unavailable, MnS Producer may opt to perform local authentication.

104. If authentication is successful, MnS Producer sends success response and an authentication context is established between MnS Consumer and MnS Producer.

105. If authentication fails, MnS Producer sends failure response to MnS Consumer.

Session Duration:

106/7. For each MnS Consumer request, MnS Producer enforces access control using local policies applicable for the current authentication context.

Session Termination:

108. Upon session termination the authentication context is also terminated.
