Description David Jaša 2008-02-04 14:23:36 UTC 
Some of networks I use on regular basis use web-based authentication. This means that computer gets IP and DNS settings from DHCP server but can only connect on ports 80/443 to authentication website (and all DNS requests return this site's address). User enters credentials at this site and if it authorizes him/her, DNS return normal results and routing for user's MAC (or MAC + IP combination) is allowed.

It would be nice if I cound tell NM that current network uses this type of authentication and if it could embed some HTML object where I could enter credentials and NM would store them for me.

It would be also nice to be able to assign VPN connection to such connection as most of wireless connections don't use any encryption.

Likely this would be done by using WISPR, which is what most of the current clients use.

Marking the older bug as duplicate as the newer one has at least some answers :).
