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.
