Abstract
A method for on demand session provisioning includes receiving a first packet from a user at a service selection gateway. The service selection gateway provides the user with access to one or more services. The first packet is associated with a selected one of the services. An access request is sent to an authorization server. A temporary user session is created to allow the user to temporarily access the selected service pending authorization. Subsequently received packets are forwarded while the temporary user session is valid. An authorization response is received from the authorization server. If the authorization response indicates that the user is authorized to access the selected service, a permanent user session is created to allow the user to access the selected service. Otherwise, the temporary user session is terminated.
