Abstract: Systems and media are provided for authenticating a mobile device using credentials supplied by a network rather than using a credential configured in the mobile device. As the mobile device requests access to the Internet, an AUD request is sent to an AUD service based on the generic credential in the mobile device. The AUD service generates a user-specific credential for the mobile that enables authentication by an authentication server and subsequent registration at a registration server.

Abstract: Media and system are provided for monitoring and adjusting timeout parameters in devices to prevent or reduce timeout scenarios for the devices. A dynamic timeout management server (DTMS) monitors wait times and behaviors of devices to implement an optimum timeout parameter that will prevent the occurrence of a timeout. When timeouts occur for a particular device, the DTMS changes the amount of time in the timeout parameter and communicates this new timeout parameter to relevant devices to prevent a timeout. The timeout parameter or new timeout parameter is stored in a global centralized timeout database as well as a local or regional timeout database.
