ABSTRACT:
Ways for embedding multiple network-access identifiers (NAIs) into a single string are provided. An illustrative embodiment includes providing a multiple-string-format (MSF) indicator that indicates that an instant string a includes data that, when ultimately deconstructed, indicate multiple Network Access Identifiers (NAIs), providing two or more usernames and realm identifiers separated by one or more delimiters that indicate the start of a new user name or realm identifier, providing a domain delimiter that indicates a start of a domain name, providing a domain name, concatenating into a single string various indicators, and providing for the communication of the single string to a receiving device for processing.
