Authentication with Third-party Credentials
Guest Registration using a third-party application has the following advantages:
• It provides Extreme Campus Controller with a higher level of user information by obtaining
information from the end user's third-party application account instead of relying on information
entered by the end-user.
• It provides an easier registration process for the end user. Extreme Campus Controller retrieves the
public information from the end user's third-party account and uses that information to populate the
name and email registration fields.
After you have configured a third-party application for registration, this is how the authentication
process works:
• The end user attempts to access an external Web site. Their HTTP trac is redirected to the captive
portal.
• In the Guest Registration Portal, the end user selects the option to register using credentials from a
third-party (Facebook, Yahoo, etc.)
• The end user is redirected to the third-party login screen.
• If an Acceptable Use Policy option is configured, the captive portal verifies that the AUP has been
acknowledged before redirecting the user to the third-party application.
• After logging in, the end user is presented with the information that Extreme Campus Controller
receives from the third-party application.
• The end user grants Extreme Campus Controller access to the third-party information and is
redirected back to the captive portal where they see a "Registration in Progress" message.
• The third-party application provides the requested information to Extreme Campus Controller,
which uses it to populate the user registration fields.
• The registration process completes and network access is granted.
Third-party Registration Requirements
Third-party captive portal registration requires the following:
• The Extreme Campus Controller Access Control engine must have Internet access in order to retrieve
user information from the third-party application.
• The Extreme Campus Controller Access Control Unregistered access policy must allow access to the
third-party application site (either allow all SSL or make allowances for application servers).
• The Extreme Campus Controller Access Control Unregistered access policy must allow access to
HTTPS trac to the third-party application OpenID servers.
• A Unique third-party application must be created on the third-party application Developers page.
• The Portal Configuration must have the third-party application enabled and must include the third-
party application's Application ID and Shared Secret.
