Abstract

Methods and systems for utilizing authentication attributes to determine how to direct traffic flows are provided. In one embodiment, an augmented authentication database is provided, which includes routing information for multiple users. The routing information is intended to be used to facilitate routing of traffic flows to appropriate virtual networks of a network. A request on behalf of one of the users is received at an authentication interface of the network for access to a service provided by a first virtual network. Responsive to the request, login credentials of the user are authenticated against the augmented authentication database. Responsive to successful authentication, the authentication interface receives from the augmented authentication database routing information associated with the user and causes the user to be granted access to the service by causing traffic flow associated with the user to be routed to the first virtual network based on the routing information returned.
