Abstract
Exemplary methods and systems for acquiring network credentials for network access are described. The exemplary method includes receiving network configuration information from a network device on a communication network, generating a credential request, transmitting the credential request to a credential server over a standard protocol of the network device, receiving the credential request response, and providing a network credential from the credential request response to the network device to access the communication network.
