    Abstract: An authentication server associated with a network authenticates a primary user credential responsive to a request from a client device to access the network. The authentication server queries a database server for contact information for obtaining a secondary user credential. The contact information is provided to a third-party authentication server to obtain and authenticate the secondary user credential. In response to both the third-party authentication server obtaining and authenticating the secondary user credential successfully and the authentication server authenticating the primary user credential successfully, the client device is granted access to the network.

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.
