Usage Guidelines
WISPr authentication allows a “smart client” to remain authenticated on the network when they roam between
Wireless Internet Service Providers, even if the wireless hotspot uses an ISP for which the client may not have
an account.
If you are hotstpot operator using WISPr authentication, and a client that has an account with your ISP
attempts to access the Internet at your hotspot, then your ISP’s WISPr AAA server authenticates that client
directly, and allows the client access on the network. If, however, the client only has an account with a partner
ISP, then your ISP’s WISPr AAA server will forward that client’s credentials to the partner ISP’s WISPr AAA server
for authentication. Once the client has been authenticated on the partner ISP, it will be authenticated on your
hotspot’s own ISP, as per their service agreements. Once your ISP sends an authentication message to the
controller, the controller assigns the default WISPr user role to that client.
ArubaOS supports the following smart clients, which enable client authentication and roaming between
hotspots by embedding iPass Generic Interface Specification (GIS) redirect, proxy, authentication and logoff
messages within HTLM messages to the controller.
