Method and device for wireless network access and authentication

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for wireless network access and authentication. The method comprises the following steps: receiving an access request sent from a user terminal by a wireless controller, wherein the access request carries a wired network password of a user and an identification of a user terminal; sending an authentication request of the wireless network access to an authentication server, wherein the authentication request carries the wired network password of the user; receiving a network access permission information corresponding to the wired network password and obtained from a wired network account number bank by the authentication server according to the wired network password in the authentication request, and configuring a wireless network access permission of the user so that the user terminal corresponding to the user identification accesses the wireless network according to wireless access permission of the user. By utilizing the scheme provided by the invention, the access permission of the user can be discriminated when wireless network access is realized, and the unified management of the access permission and the password in the wired and wireless networks also can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for accessing a wireless network and its authentication. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of wireless technology, more and more wired network access users join the ranks of wireless network access users. Existing wired network access generally uses user name plus password for identity authentication before network access, while wireless network access generally uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP for short) or wireless emulation protected access. (Wi-fi Protected Access, referred to as: WPA) pre-shared key (Pre-Shared Key, referred to as: PSK) way, all users use the same password. [0003] In the course of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: [0004] WEP or WPA PSK is used for wireless network access. All users ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] WEP or WPA PSK is used for wireless network access. All users use the same password and enjoy the same access rights. It is impossible to distinguish the identity of each user, and once the password is leaked, it will also damage the interests of legitimate users.
