Abstract: An enterprise device identity proxy between an SMF and an Enterprise's device profile store supports N7 protocol for enterprise policy delivery between a central management service (CMS) and an enterprise policy service. In particular, when a user equipment (UE) requests a data service, the enterprise device identity proxy receives AAA transactions from the SMF running the enterprise policy service over a secondary authentication interface, stores the results in a data store, and uses business rules set forth by the CMS to transform Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs) into a valid N7 response to the SMF. The enterprise device identity proxy enables an enterprise to treat a device with cellular connectivity using the same rules that would apply to other access/connection types without the complexity and cost of deploying a 3GPP policy service to support N7 protocol for policy delivery.
