Abstract
Authorizing remote access points for use in a network: After the remote access point is provisioned to communicate securely to a controller using its TCP/IP address provided by a user, the remote access point is put into an un-authorized state by the controller pending further authorization. The user is presented with a secure captive portal page authenticating the end-user. User's authentication credentials are verified by the controller. After the remote access point has been authorized, the controller marks it verified as a fully functional node, and saves this state. The remote access point is provisioned with the current provisioning parameters for the remote access point as configured by the IT administrator for the end user, so that each remote access point can have unique per-user configuration applied.
