Authentication with Third-party Credentials

Guest Registration using a third-party application has the following advantages:

• It provides ExtremeCloud IQ Controller with a higher level of user information by obtaining information from the end user's third-party application account instead of relying on information entered by the end-user.
• It provides an easier registration process for the end user. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller retrieves the public information from the end user's third-party account and uses that information to populate the name and email registration fields.

After you have configured a third-party application for registration, this is how the authentication process works:

• The end user attempts to access an external Web site. Their HTTP traffic is redirected to the captive portal.
• In the Guest Registration Portal, the end user selects the option to register using credentials from a third-party (Facebook, Yahoo, etc.)
• The end user is redirected to the third-party login screen.
• If an Acceptable Use Policy option is configured, the captive portal verifies that the AUP has been acknowledged before redirecting the user to the third-party application.
• After logging in, the end user is presented with the information that ExtremeCloud IQ Controller receives from the third-party application.
• The end user grants ExtremeCloud IQ Controller access to the third-party information and is redirected back to the captive portal where they see a "Registration in Progress" message.
• The third-party application provides the requested information to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, which uses it to populate the user registration fields.
• The registration process completes and network access is granted.
