Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a system for performing authentication on a terminal in a wireless local area network are provided. The method uses a feature code as a part of an authentication credential. The feature code is a function of capability parameters of a terminal. The feature code can identify the terminal, so that the authentication server determines the authentication result based on a MAC address and the feature code of the terminal.
