Enabling Northbound Portal Interface Support
The Northbound Portal interface allows the use of DPSKs on open authentication
WLANs meant for public access.
By enabling the Northbound Portal Interface, a wireless service provider can provide
simple but secure Wi-Fi access without pre-registration, account setup or authen-
tication. ZoneDirector redirects authentication requests to an outside portal. If
access is granted, ZoneDirector provides a unique dynamic PSK. The DPSK can
be delivered in a prov.exe file, which automatically configures the user’s device with
the relevant wireless settings or displayed on the portal screen for manual entry.
