Apple devices disconnects from guest network

[Faltherren]

Hello!

I am at our customer who has a MSM710, software version 5.7.3.0-13117, with AP's MSM410 and MSM422. They have a guestnetwork using HTML-authentication. I know there is a problem regarding HTML-authentication and Apple devices and I am currently using the edited index.asp workaround found here: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=376342&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02737668-2%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

I also added the devices iPhone and iPad after iPod in the index.asp. Apple devices can now get in to the login HTML-page and get connected with the correct IP-address, dns and gw. But after a minute or so they get disconnected. It works without any trouble on Android devices and PC's.

Does anyone know what I can do? Remove the HTML-authentication from the guest network?

HP got it wrong. The js in the link you provieded only checks for ipods, thus leaving out all the other iOS devices.

if (useragent.indexOf('iPod') > -1) { 

I wrote a quick fix and posted it here, give it a shot ... It works for our environment.

Hello! 

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply. I am only at my customers office 1-2 days per week. As I wrote in my first post I also added other Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad. :-) They can reach and log in on the HTML-authentication site but suddenly disconnects after 1 minute or so. 

But I will compare your code to the one I have in my index.asp. Thanks!

Looks about right eh? Your script is identical to the one I use. :-)

</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
function showsessionpageifnotsubscribe()
{
var action = $F('access_type');
var showSessionPage = false;

if (typeof(action) == 'string') {
if ($F('access_type') != 'subscribe') {
showSessionPage = true;
}
} else {
showSessionPage = true;
}
// fix by Thoams Heuberger, 2013. Disables the Session Page popup on iOS devices
                                if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone|iPod)/g))
                                        showSessionPage = false;

if (showSessionPage) {
showsessionpage('<% write(GetWebFullURL("http")); %>/session.asp');
}
}
//-->
</script>
