Enabling Northbound Portal Interface Support

The Northbound Portal interface allows the use of DPSKs on open authentication WLANs
meant for public access.
By enabling the Northbound Portal Interface, a wireless service provider can provide simple
but secure Wi-Fi access without pre-registration, account setup or authentication. ZoneDirector
redirects authentication requests to an outside portal. If access is granted, ZoneDirector
provides a unique dynamic PSK. The DPSK can be delivered in a prov.exe file, which automat-
ically configures the user's device with the relevant wireless settings or displayed on the portal
screen for manual entry.
To enable Northbound Portal interface support
1. Go to Configure > System > Network Management.
2. Click Enable northbound portal interface support.
3. Enter a Password for API to portal communication.
4. Click Apply in the same section to save changes.
5. Configure the portal to display the key to the user or to push the prov.exe file to the client.
