Problems solved by technology

This method can use the existing network authentication architecture to implement Portal authentication under the condition of AP local forwarding, but before the STA authentication is passed, this method needs to send all the authentication request packets of the STA to the AC for processing, and the AC will send all the WLAN user's HTTP requests are redirected to the Portal server, which will have a certain impact on the processing performance of the AC itself
[0006] On the other hand, most of the unified authentication pages currently pushed are customized based on each operator, which cannot meet the customization needs of many merchant AP users themselves for truly personalized Portal authentication pages.

Embodiment 1

[0034] This embodiment provides a method for user access authentication, which is applied to a network architecture including an access point AP and an access controller AC, such as figure 1 shown, including:

[0035] Step 110, the AP intercepts the hypertext transfer protocol HTTP request sent by the WLAN user through the station STA;

[0036] Step 120, when the AP determines that the WLAN user has not passed the access authentication, it sends a redirect message to the STA, wherein the redirect message carries the URL address of the authentication page on the access authentication server, and the The redirect message is used to redirect the HTTP request to the access authentication server.

[0037] In this embodiment, the access authentication server is a Portal server, but it is not limited thereto.

[0038] In this embodiment, the AP obtains the URL address carried in the redirection message in the following manner: the AP searches for the binding relationship informatio...

Embodiment 2

[0070] This embodiment provides a method for distributing access point configuration information, such as Figure 4 shown, including:

[0071] Step 210, the access controller AC receives and saves the configuration information of the access point AP issued by the network management system, and the configuration information includes the URL address of the personalized authentication page provided for the WLAN user;

[0072] Step 220, the AC delivers the configuration information to the AP when the AP accesses.

[0073] In this embodiment, when an AP is activated, the AC may receive and save the configuration information of the AP from the network management system.

[0074] In this embodiment, the configuration information may also include user authentication parameters that need to be inserted into the URL. The AC sends the user authentication parameters to the AP, and the AP can write them and the URL address in the redirection message sent to the WLAN user.

[0075] In th...

Embodiment 3

[0091] Traditional AC is generally based on the network deployment of each operator. AC network maintenance costs are high and cannot meet the requirements of new IT architectures, such as mass virtualization, cloud computing, and unified storage technologies. This embodiment proposes a cloud platform-based network management system, also known as cloud network management system, AC cloud network management platform, cloud platform network management, etc.). The cloud network management system in this embodiment can manage or configure the AC or the APs attached to the AC through the SNMP protocol. Supports basic configuration of access AC and AP devices through the network management system, including configuration of AP wireless interface parameters (SSID, channel selection, security encryption related parameters, transmit power parameters, QoS related parameter configuration, etc.). The AC needs to register with the cloud platform first. After the AC successfully registers ...

Abstract

A method and device for WLAN user access authentication and distribution of configuration information. An AP intercepts a hypertext transfer protocol HTTP request sent by a WLAN user through a station STA; when the AP determines that the WLAN user has not passed the access authentication, it sends The STA sends a redirection message, wherein the redirection message carries the Uniform Resource Locator URL address of the authentication page on the access authentication server, and the redirection message is used to redirect the HTTP request to the Access the authentication server as described above. The AC receives and saves the configuration information of the access point AP issued by the network management system. The configuration information includes the URL address of the personalized authentication page provided for the WLAN user, and then sends the configuration information to the AP when the AP accesses. The configuration information. This application avoids the problem that the existing method of intercepting the HTTP request message of the WLAN user on the AC has a certain influence on the processing performance of the AC and the access authentication efficiency is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method and equipment for WLAN user access authentication and distribution of configuration information. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the popularization of mobile terminals such as smart phones and tablet PCs, the demand for wireless data has shown explosive growth, and the application of WLAN technology as a supplement to 3G / 4G coverage has become more and more extensive, such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, etc. More and more service places need to provide customers with free WiFi, and authentication and push advertisement information for WLAN users have become the basic requirements for this type of public wireless network. Portal authentication is usually also called web authentication, and the portal authentication website is generally called a portal website. When an unauthenticated user accesses the Internet, the access device ...
