Network management system and method based on portal authentication

Abstract

The invention provides a network management system and a network management method based on portal authentication. The system comprises an authentication terminal, an access device and a portal authentication server, wherein the authentication terminal and the portal authentication server are respectively in communication connection with the access device; the authentication terminal completes authentication in the portal authentication server via the access device, thus association between the authentication terminal and the access device is achieved, and thereby the Internet connection of the authentication terminal is achieved; and the access device comprises a flow monitoring module, and determines whether to be associated with the authentication terminal according to a network flow value monitored by the flow monitoring module within a preset time. According to the system, the flow monitoring and the management of online duration / online flow in the portal authentication server are ingeniously combined, the authentication duration of the authentication terminal is really converted into the online duration of the user, the unnecessary waste of the online duration or online flow is effectively avoided, and the effectiveness of the online time is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication technology, in particular to a portal authentication-based network management system and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] Portal (portal) authentication is also generally referred to as Web (web page) authentication, and Portal authentication websites are generally referred to as portal websites. When an unauthenticated user surfs the Internet, the access device will force the user to log in to a specific site, and the user can access the services therein for free. When users need to use other information in the Internet, they must be authenticated on the portal website. Only after passing the authentication can they get a certain amount of time online and have the right to use Internet resources. Portal services can provide operators with convenient management functions. Portal websites can carry out advertisements, community services, and personalized services, so that broa...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, there are deficiencies in this method of recording the authentication duration. For example, when the authentication terminal enters a no-signal area during the process of surfing the Internet, although the authentication terminal has been disconnected from the wireless network, the authentication terminal has no way to report to the network due to the lack of signal. The access device sends a disarmed message, and the access device will not send client_out to the server, so that the portal authentication server keeps counting down the duration of the authentication terminal's Internet access. When the authentication terminal associates with the access device again, it is very Some Internet time may have been wasted or even the Internet time has been used up; for example, many times our authentication terminals (such as mobile phones) have a wireless association memory function. During the valid authentication period, sometimes the user obviously does not take the initiative to associate again. It should be wireless, but the mobile phone is still connected wirelessly. In this case, even if the user does not actually surf the Internet, the server is still counting down effectively. In the case of many users, the time-wasting phenomenon is very serious.
