In many cases, it is desirable to provide a Guest Network where the User is logged in as a Guest and is automatically redirected to the Welcome Page. This provides a User-friendly way of displaying a Guest Portal Login prompt to the User when they connect to the Guest Network.
Once an Android Device is connected to a Captive portal network, it will try to reach the URL
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
and it expects a response.
The device will try to send a HTTP Get request to the URL and AP will spoof the connection and respond with a 302 Redirect (
http://captive-2019.aio.cloudauth.net/swarm.cgi
), on behalf of
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
.
The redirected URL will provide the splash page to the User.
Below Wireshark capture represents the flow of automatic prompt for Guest Portal page.
Once the Authentication is complete, whenever the Guest Client contacts
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
, the AP will not spoof the TCP connection.
The Guest Client will hence not get a 302 redirect message from
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
, but will get a
HTTP 200 Ok.
The Guest Client will then assume that there is no Captive Portal Authentication configured on the Wireless Network or the Captive Portal Authentication is successful.
