Abstract: Methods and systems for providing vendor agnostic captive portal authentication in a network that includes a plurality of network access devices are provided. For instance, one method includes receiving a redirect request for a communication between a first user-terminal and a first network access device, the redirect request including at least one of a vendor-specific item of information of the first network access device and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first network access device. The method further includes comparing the at least one of the vendor-specific item of information of the first network access device and the IP address of the first network access device against each of a plurality of entries of a network access device database, and providing the first user-terminal access to a captive portal page in response to an appropriate match.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, embodiments relate to receiving, by a system comprising one or more network devices, a first client authentication information comprising a first indication that a first client device was successfully authenticated by a first authentication server based on credentials provided by the first client device, and forwarding, by the system, the first client authentication information to a second authentication server without determining that the client device was already successfully authenticated by the first authentication server based on the credentials provided by the first client device. The operations further include receiving, by the system from the second authentication server, a second indication that the first client device was successfully authenticated, and based on the second indication received by the system from the second authentication server, granting, by the system, network access to the first client device.
