Abstract
Techniques described herein may be used to centralize authentication and authorization for accessing cloud services provided by different cloud platform deployments. A user equipment (UE) may provide user information to a cloud admin server. The cloud admin server may authenticate and authorize the UE locally and then initiate a sign on procedure with each cloud platform deployment. The sign on procedure may include obtaining user group information for the user and providing the user group information to the cloud platform deployments so that the cloud platform deployments may return permission information without having to each perform an authentication and authorization procedure. The cloud admin server may relay the permission information to the UE, and the UE may use the permission information to access any/all of the cloud services.
