Abstract
A distributed authentication framework is presented. The framework includes an authentication stack that is created by an authentication server. The server receives an authentication request from an end-user, the request including an authentication domain ID that distinguishes the end-user. The authentication stack has entries that trigger local or remote specific authentication actions providing respective results. When the results are consolidated the authentication status of the end-user is determined.
