1. When a BYOD device first joins the network it does not have a set of unique device credentials. This will
trigger the captive portal for that device, which brings the user to the mobile device provisioning page.
2. The Onboard portal is displayed. The user’s device type is detected, and a link is displayed depending on the
device type:
a. For Android devices, the link is to a file containing the Onboard configuration settings; downloading this
file will launch the QuickConnect app on the device.
b. For Windows and Mac, the link is to a executable file appropriate for that operating system that includes
both the QuickConnect app and the Onboard configuration settings.
3. The QuickConnect app uses the Onboard provisioning workflow to authenticate the user and provision
their device with the Onboard server. The device is configured with appropriate network settings and
credentials that are unique to the device.
4. After provisioning has completed, the app switches the device to PEAP authentication using the newly
provisioned unique device credentials. Mutual authentication is performed (the authentication server
verifies the client’s username and password, and the client verifies the authentication server’s certificate).
5. The device is now onboard and is able to securely access the network.
