Abstract
Embodiments herein registers Asset Owners (AOs) and AO applications to a location, aggregation, and insight (LAI) service that are part of the same identity federation. When registering the AO with the LAI service, the AO selects which of a plurality of Identity Providers (IDPs) it has a relationship with, and the LAI service can then bind those IDPs to the AO application. This binding associates respective realms (e.g., domains) corresponding to the selected IDPs to the AO application. Later, when a device owned by the AO roams to a visited network (VN), the LAI service can then use a realm identified from a device ID provided by the device to identify the ID of the AO application. The LAI service then enables the VN to transmit a location of the device to the AO application. In one embodiment, the VN obtains consent from the AO before sharing location data.
