This feature is for guest wifis for which you have to enter credentials on the Captive Portal to "unlock" the wifi. In this case you have to request temporary guest credentials (a username/password combination) from an employee. I've seen other cases at coffee shops where you have to ask the staff for these credentials. You don't need admin credentials because according to my understanding it is a protocol which allows the OS to show a system dialog to POST the credentials to some HTTP endpoint provided by the captive portal. I tried to dig up the spec, unfortunately it looks like it was depublished (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WISPr) but according to https://wballiance.com/glossary/#anchor-w it should have been in the Public Domain so it must be available somewhere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
