Select OSU Provider.

WiNG managed clients can use Online Sign-Up (OSU) for registration and credential provisioning to obtain hotspot network access. Service providers have an OSU AAA server and certificate authority (CA). For a client and hotspot to trust one another, the OSU server holds a certificate signed by a CA whose root certificate is issued by a CA authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and CA certificates are installed on the client device. A CA performs the following functions:

Issues certificates (creates and signs)
Maintains certificate status information and issues certificate revocation lists (CRLs)
Publishes current (non-expired) certificates and CRLs
Maintains status archives for the expired or revoked certificates it has issued

Passpoint certificates are governed by the Hotspot 2.0 OSU Certificate Policy Specification. An OSU server certificate should be obtained from any of the CAs authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Once an OSU provider is selected, the client connects to the OSU WLAN. It then triggers an HTTPS connection to the OSU server, which was received with the OSU providers list. The client validates the server certificate to ensure it's a trusted OSU server. The client is prompted to complete an online registration through their browser. When the client has a valid credential for the hotspot 2.0 WLAN, it disassociates from the OSU WLAN and connects to the hotspot 2.0 WLAN.

The OSU Provider screen displays those provider configurations created thus far for use with a passpoint policy.

Passpoint Policy - OSU Provider Screen

Click Add to create a new OSU provider configuration for passpoint hotspot utilization, Edit to modify the attributes of an existing configuration, or Delete to remove a selected configuration from those available.

Passpoint Policy - OSU Provider - Add/Edit Screen

If you are creating a new OSU provider configuration, provide it a 32-character maximum OSU ID that will serve as an online sign up identifier.

Set the following attributes to secure the Network Access Identifier (NAI) submitted by the hotspot during OSU authentication:

Server URL	Provide a 255 character maximum sign up server URL for the OSU provider.
NAI	Enter a 255 character maximum NAI to identify the user and assist in routing an authentication request to the authentication server. The realm name is often the domain name of the service provider.
Method OMA DM Priority	Select this option to provide Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management priority. OMA is a standards body developing open standards for mobile clients. OMA is relevant to service providers working across countries (with different languages), operators and mobile terminals. Adherence to OMA is strictly voluntary. Use the drop-menu to specify the priority as 1 or 2.
Method SOAP XML SPP Priority	Select this option to apply a SOAP-XML subscription provisioning protocol priority of either 1 or 2. The simple object access protocol (SOAP) is a protocol for exchanging structured information in web services. SOAP uses XML as its message format and relies on other application layer protocols, like HTTP or SMTP, for message negotiation and transmission.

Refer to the Name field to optionally set a 252-character English language sign up name, then provide a 3-character maximum ISO-639 language code to apply the sign up name in a language other then English.
