Authentication method and system for service of wireless local area network, and server

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an authentication method and system for a service of a wireless local area network, and a server. The method comprises: a BAS receives an HTTP request that is triggered by a user terminal by a browser of the user terminal, wherein the HTTP request carries an MAC address of the user terminal and user terminal type information; if a user does not carry out WLAN service access authentication, the user terminal is indicated to redirect the HTTP request to a portal server of the WLAN service; if the user terminal is a mobile terminal, the portal server triggers automatic authentication on access to a WLAN by a mobile terminal based on pre-established binding relation information between user account information and an MAC address; and if the user terminal is a PC, the portal server displays an input interface of the user account information by a first portal logging-in interface, and the user account information inputted by the user is received by the input interface and then authentication on access to the WLAN by the PC is triggered. According to the embodiment of the invention, a sky-high price bill and an MAC address counterfeiting risk of a PC terminal can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a wireless local area network (WLAN) service authentication method, system and server. Background technique [0002] At present, the public WLAN hotspots provided by telecom operators basically adopt the Portal / Web (portal combined with network) authentication method. Every time a user uses a WLAN service, he needs to start a browser on the user terminal to access the Portal page of the WLAN service. After entering the user name and password on the page, the subsequent authentication process will be carried out. In this Portal / Web authentication method, it is cumbersome to input the user name and password every time, and the user hopes to reduce the input operation of the user name and password when using the WLAN service, so as to have a better user experience. [0003] To achieve the above purpose, the prior art adopts a non-perceptual authentication method. In this non-aware authe...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Since there is no perceptual authentication, as long as the WLAN switch of the user terminal is turned on, the WLAN service authentication will be automatically performed for the user. When the WLAN service is used without the user's knowledge, when the WLAN service is not free or limited free, it is easy to form a "sky-high bill". ”, thus bringing tariff risks to users;

[0006] Since the MAC address of a PC (personal computer) terminal is easy to be changed, the MAC address of a PC terminal is easy to counterfeit, and there is a security risk. As a result, the user whose MAC address is counterfeited may need to bear the WLAN service charges brought by other users.
