Abstract

Techniques are provided for performing web authentication of mobile wireless devices that roam from a wireless wide area network to a wireless local area network. A redirect rule is invoked when a request is received from the mobile wireless device for world wide web access in order to obtain authentication for the mobile wireless device before permitting world wide web access. When a world wide web access request is received from the mobile wireless device, it is redirected to an authentication portal to allow a user of the mobile wireless device to enter user credentials to allow for world wide web access using the IP address.
