1. A method for operating a terminal in a wireless network, the method comprising:
configuring a restricted packet data unit (PDU) session with a provisioning server (PVS);
transmitting a remote provisioning request message including a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) to the PVS; and
receiving a remote provisioning response message in response to the remote provisioning request message,
wherein the remote provisioning response message includes standalone non-public network (SNPN) credentials and subscription data of a terminal in case that remote provisioning for the terminal is approved,
wherein the remote provisioning response message is determined based on an authentication response message received from a default credentials server (DCS),
wherein the DCS is selected by the PVS based on the SUPI,
wherein an authentication request message is transmitted after mutual authentication between the PVS and the DCS is performed, and
wherein the authentication response message is transmitted in response to the authentication request message transmitted from the PVS to the DCS based on the SUPI.
