Abstract

A system may include a client device to connect to a network and a network device communicatively coupled to the client device. The network device may determine that the client device has been authenticated to the network via a captive portal page. The network device may further create a ticket corresponding to the client device. Possession of the ticket by the client device may indicate authentication of the client device to the network. The network device may then transmit the ticket to the client device for storage on the client device. The stored ticket may enable the client device to remain authenticated to the network after a period of inactivity.
