Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a request from a user agent of a client computing device of a user to access a communication network through the router; and automatically redirecting the user agent from a first network resource to second network resource. The first network resource is configured to authenticate the user to provide access to the communication network. The second network resource is configured to authenticate the user to provide access to a particular domain of the communication network. The method also includes providing to the user agent access to the particular domain of the communication network if the second network resource successfully authenticates the user.
