Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for authenticating and authorizing requestors interacting with content servers. A message including a request is forwarded from an upstream device and received by an intermediate device. The intermediate device authenticates the upstream device. Then, if the intermediate device is authorized to make decisions as to which sender may access the content server, the intermediate device determines whether the sender of the message has authority to access the content server as requested in the request. Otherwise, the message is forwarded towards the content server with an indication that the intermediate device authenticated the upstream device.
