Firewall Friendly External Captive Portal Flow of Events

Typically, the third-party server is on the other side of a firewall from ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. Integrating with a third-party server through a firewall is illustrated in Firewall Friendly ECP Event Flow with ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. The main participants in the deployment scenario are:

• The client being authenticated (‘user‘).
• The ExtremeCloud IQ Controller that manages the AP that the user is communicating through.
• The firewall between the user and ExtremeCloud IQ Controller on one side and the ECP on the other.
• The ECP that performs the actual authentication.
