Abstract
An authentication method, a server, and a terminal for a wireless local area network (WLAN) are provided. The method includes: redirecting a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request message sent by a WLAN terminal to an address of a login webpage of a WLAN network and returning the redirected HTTP request message to the WLAN terminal; sending authentication request information carrying an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) identifier of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card sent by the WLAN terminal to an Authentication/Authorization/Accounting (AAA) server corresponding to the address of the login webpage of the WLAN network, such that the AAA server performs authentication based on the IMSI identifier.
