Terminal access authentication method and device

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a terminal access authentication method and device. The method comprises the following steps: access equipment sends an MAC non-perception authentication request to an authentication server according to a first MAC address of a to-be-authenticated non-dumb terminal; a first-group strategy fed back by the authentication server according to the first MAC address is received, wherein the first-group strategy is determined according to a correspondence relationship between the MAC address of the non-dumb terminal and the group strategy; a first access authority corresponding to the first-group strategy is determined, and an access authority of the to-be-authenticated non-dumb terminal is determined according to the first access authority, wherein the first access authority is a preset visitor access authority. Through applications of the terminal access authentication method and device, the problem of performance reduction, resulted from the fact that the non-dumb terminal continuously initiates MAC non-perception authentication, of the authentication server can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a terminal access authentication method and device. Background technique [0002] In the existing actual enterprise network, terminals usually include dumb terminals and non-dumb terminals. Dumb terminals include IP phones, network printers, etc., and non-dumb terminals include desktop computers, notebook computers, tablet computers, and smart phones. All of them need to perform access authentication when accessing the enterprise network. [0003] In the prior art, since the dumb terminal has its own characteristics such as no user interface, it generally adopts MAC non-aware authentication, which is automatically initiated by the terminal without user intervention. Non-dumb terminals generally adopt the method of user manual authentication, that is, the user is required to enter the user name and password to complete the network authentication operation and rea...
