Abstract
A method for indicating a consumer network function (NF) type for an access token request forwarded between NF repository functions (NRFs) includes receiving, by a forwarding NRF, an access token request. The method further includes determining, by the forwarding NRF, that the access token request requires forwarding. The method further includes determining, by the forwarding NRF, that the access token request does not identify an NF type of a consumer NF for which the access token request was issued. The method further includes determining, by the forwarding NRF, the consumer NF type identifier. The method further includes communicating, by the forwarding NRF, the consumer NF type identifier to a forwarded NRF.
