WISPr Authentication
Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming (WISPr) authentication allows a smart client to
authenticate on the network when they roam between wireless Internet service providers, even if
the wireless hotspot uses an Internet Service Provider (ISP) with whom the client may not have an
account.
If you are a hotspot 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 the client only has
an account with a partner ISP, then your ISP’s WISPr AAA server forwards that client’s credentials
to the partner ISP’s WISPr AAA server for authentication. When the client is authenticated on
the partner ISP, it is also authenticated on your hotspot’s own ISP as per their service agreements.
The W-IAP assigns the default WISPr user role to the client when your ISP sends an
authentication message to the W-IAP.
Instant supports the following smart clients:
l iPass
l Boingo
These smart clients enable client authentication and roaming between hotspots by embedding
iPass Generic Interface Specification (GIS) redirect , authentication , and logoff messages within
HTML messages that are sent to the W-IAP.
