Profiles > AAA > WISPr Auth
The Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming (WISPr) protocol allows users to roam between service providers.
A RADIUS server is used to authenticate subscriber credentials.
AOS supports stateful 802.1x authentication, stateful NTLM authentication and authentication for Wireless
Internet Service Provider roaming (WISPr). Stateful authentication differs from 802.1x authentication in that
the controller does not manage the authentication process directly, but monitors the authentication messages
between a user and an external authentication server, and then assigns a role to that user based upon the
information in those authentication messages. WISPr authentication allows clients to roam between hotspots
using different ISPs.
Refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals for additional
information about stateful NTLM and WISPr authentication.
Perform these steps to configure a WISPr Auth profile.
