The present invention relates to a method and a network node (6) for connecting a user device (2) to a wireless local area network, WLAN (4), when there has been a rejection during a first attempt to connect the user device (2) to the WLAN (2). The method intercepts the rejection in the network node (6) and sends a first authentication success message from the network node (6) to the user device (2). The user device (2) is redirected to an authentication web portal (10), where the user device (2) is prompted for authentication data. The network node (6) then receives a second authentication success message from the authentication web portal (10) and grants the user device (2) access to the WLAN (4), the extent of access being authentication defined by the service subscription of the user device (2).
A method for connecting a user device to a wireless local area network, WLAN, when there has been a rejection during a first attempt to connect the user device to the WLAN, comprising the steps of:
A network node comprising a processing unit configured to, when there has been a rejection during a first attempt to connect a user device to a wireless local area network, WLAN:
A computer program for connecting a user device to a wireless local area network, WLAN, when there has been a rejection during a first attempt to connect the user device to the WLAN, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run in a processing unit of a network node causes the network node to:
