A method of multi-domain authorization/authentication on a computer
network comprises: a user making a request to a policy enforcement point
of a computer for access to information on the computer; providing a
location address for a user's authorization and/or authentication
information, a policy decision point of the service on the computer
network then verifying the authorization/authentication information; and
the user being given access by the PEP to the information or the service
requested, if the request is accepted, wherein the user's
authorization/authentication and/or further information is located on a
meta policy decision point (MPDP).
