The generated WLAN connection profile is stored in the WLAN connection utility of the user terminal as a profile, WLAN connection profile generation system.
A method for generating a WLAN access profile in a user terminal by a subscriber management server,
Receiving a request for providing a WLAN access service from a user terminal;
Determining a type of the user terminal in response to the WLAN access service request;
Providing a profile generator to the user terminal based on the determined type of the user terminal;
Receiving user information collected through the provided profile generator from the user terminal;
Registering the user information with a WLAN authentication server;
Generating a WLAN access parameter based on the received user information;
Providing the WLAN access parameter to the user terminal
Including;
The WLAN connection parameters provided to the user terminal are used by the profile generator to generate a WLAN connection profile for the WLAN connection at the user terminal.
The user information registered in the WLAN authentication server is used to authenticate the WLAN connection of the user terminal in comparison with the WLAN connection profile in the WLAN authentication server.
The method of claim 11,
The providing of the profile generator may include providing the profile generator to the user terminal through a wired network or a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) network.
The method of claim 11,
The providing of the profile generator may include providing the profile generator in the form of a web plug-in to the user terminal.
The method of claim 11,
The user information may include at least one of personal information of a user, identification for WLAN authentication, a password for WLAN authentication, a MAC address of the user terminal, or a CPU ID of the user terminal. How to create a profile.
delete The method of claim 11,
The WLAN access parameter includes at least one of a wireless network name, an authentication algorithm, certificate setting information, or an encryption type, and optionally includes some of information included in the user information. .
The method of claim 11,
The provided WLAN connection profile is stored as a profile in a WLAN connection utility of the user terminal.
A computer-readable recording medium provided in the form of a Web PlugIn to a user terminal from a subscriber management server to generate a WLAN connection profile, the computer-readable recording medium executing on the user terminal,
Collecting and providing user information to the subscriber management server;
Receiving a WLAN access parameter generated based on the user information from the subscriber management server;
Generating the WLAN access profile based on the received WLAN access parameters; And
Sending the generated WLAN access profile to the WLAN authentication server when the user terminal accesses the WLAN
Include programs that execute
The user information transmitted to the subscriber management server and the generated WLAN connection profile are used for the user terminal to access the WLAN and authenticate.
In the authentication, the user information transmitted to the subscriber management server is registered in the WLAN authentication server by the subscriber management server, and when the user terminal accesses the WLAN, the registered user information in the WLAN authentication server. And the transmitted WLAN connection profile is performed in comparison with each other.
