Abstract
Particular embodiments of a gateway computing device provide a provisioning service for access credentials to a restricted network, wherein the provisioning service is accessible by an open network. A messaging protocol for the open network may only recognize messages relating to one of a set of services provided by the gateway computing device, including the provisioning service. The gateway computing device may receive, from a client device, a request to connect to the restricted network, wherein the request was sent using the open network. Upon determining whether the client device is authorized to access the restricted network, the gateway computing device may send a response to the client device using the open network.
