Concept Guide

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.
l iPass
l Bongo
l Trustive
l weRoam

A WISPr authentication profile includes parameters to define RADIUS attributes, the default role for
authenticated WISPr users, maximum numbers of authenticated failures and logon wait times. The WISPr-
Location-ID sent from the controller to the WISPr RADIUS server will be the concatenation of the ISO Country
Code, E.164 Country Code, E.164 Area Code and SSID/Zone parameters configured in this profile.
The parameters to define WISPr RADIUS attributes are specific to the RADIUS server your ISP uses for WISPr
authentication; contact your ISP to determine these values. You can find a list of ISO and ITU country and area
codes at the ISO and ITU websites www.iso.org and http://www.itu.int.
A Boingo smart client uses a NAS identifier in the format <CarrierID>_<VenueID> for location identification. To
support Boingo clients, you must also configure the NAS identifier parameter in the Radius server profile for the
WISPr server
Example
The following commands configure an WISPr authentication profile:
aaa authentication wispr
default-role authuser
max-authentication-failures 5
server-group wispr1
wispr-location-id-ac 408
wispr-location-id-cc 1
wispr-location-id-isocc us
wispr-location-id-network <wispr-location-id-network>
wispr-location-name-location <wispr-location-name-location>
wispr-location-name-operator-name <wispr-location-name-location>
