Configuring WISPr Authentication

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 AP.

Internal - Authenticated and External - RADIUS Server captive portal authentication. Select
