1. A method comprising: receiving, with an authentication device, authentication information from an endpoint device; authenticating, with the authentication device, the endpoint device based on the authentication information; based on the authentication, storing, with the authentication device, authorization information in accordance with a first proprietary authorization data model; applying, with the authentication device, an export translation policy to translate the authorization information stored in accordance the first proprietary authorization data model into translated authorization information that complies with a second Interface for Metadata Access Point (IF-MAP) authorization data model conforming to an IF-MAP standard, wherein the second IF-MAP authorization data model is different from the first proprietary authorization data model; and publishing, with the authentication device, the translated authorization information in accordance with an IF-MAP protocol to an intermediate storage device that implements the second IF-MAP authorization data model.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the first proprietary authorization data model defines a first set of classes by which to classify portions of the authorization information, wherein the second IF-MAP authorization data model defines a second set of classes by which to classify portions of the translated authorization information, wherein at least one of the classes of the first set is different from at least one of the classes of the second set, wherein the export translation policy comprises data that defines rules to map each class of the first set of classes to one or more classes of the second set of classes, and wherein applying the export translation policy comprises applying the rules of the export translation policy to map each of the classified portions of the authentication information to a corresponding one or more of the classified portions of the translated authentication information.
