Abstract
For providing to a user on a communication terminal () media content () from a content server (), a Session Initiation Protocol message, addressed to a resource identifier identifying the media content (), is transmitted from the communications terminal () to a Call Session Control Function unit (S-CSCF), in response to the user activating a hyperlink associated with the media content (). If there are filter criteria (iFC) associated with the user and associating the first message with an application server (SIP-AS), the resource identifier is transmitted from the Call Session Control Function unit (S-CSCF) to the application server (SIP-AS). The application server (SIP-AS) transmits to the communication terminal () accessing means for the user to retrieve the media content () from the content server (). Generating und submitting in the communication terminal () the Session Initiation Protocol message make it possible to route the request for the media content () through an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), thereby making use of filtering features of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for user authentication and access control such that there is no need for separate proprietary access control mechanisms for the content server ().
