I am in a campus. To access the internet, a web-based authentication is required. They give us a url when entered in a browser it will direct us to a page which asks our username and password for authentication, if successful, we can access internet. Can anybody explain to me or point to me some other resources on how it works? Is it a proxy?
Let's come to the practical problem. I am a Linux user, new to FreeBSD world. I just did a fresh installation of FreeBSD from the i386 cd-iso. After running 'dhclient' I successfully get an ip address via dhcp, but I don't know how I could get authenticated because I could not find a browser thing in the cli. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
