The method comprises: receiving reference authentication data; storing the reference authentication data; comparing received the authentication data of the requesting network device to the reference authentication data; requesting a communication connection from the server; and generating an acknowledgement signal to the requesting network device, the acknowledgement signal indicating the requesting network device an acceptance to connect to the server and a network address to be used for the connection, receiving a connection request from the network device; and combining the connection request with the communication connection set up between the authentication server and the server. The invention also relates to an authentication server device, a communication system, and a computer program product.
