Abstract:
In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access
(such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a
captive portal mode. This highly restricts what the customer can do
until the customer has authenticated.
This document describes a DHCP option (and a RA extension) to inform
clients that they are behind some sort of captive portal device, and
that they will need to authenticate to get Internet Access. It is
not a full solution to address all of the issues that clients may
have with captive portals; it is designed to be used in larger
solutions. The method of authenticating to, and interacting with the
captive portal is out of scope of this document.
