Abstract
A method aims at providing a service in a communication network, and comprises the following steps. An access to a service requiring authentication is initiated by a UE (), An identity management node () authenticates the UE, and then sends, to a PCRF node (), a message comprising: service information for identifying the service to which access is initiated, identification information for identifying the UE, and authentication information determined upon authenticating the UE. The PCRF node determines control rules to be applied to the service for the UE, based on the authentication information and service information. The PCRF node then triggers installation of the control rules in at least one network node () handling service data flows (SDF) for the service, to enforce the control rules on traffic associated with the service for the UE. The invention also relates to devices and computer programs for carrying such as method.
