Title : Captive-Portal Identification in DHCP / RA Authors : Warren Kumari Erik Kline Filename : draft-ietf-capport-rfc7710bis-01.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2020-01-12 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 Router Advertisement (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.
