Windows 10: WiFi Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) related issue

Hi All,


I am trying to provision Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) profile on my windows-10 laptop using Online SignUp Server (OSU) using SOAP based provisioning.

- Windows is able to successfully discover and select an OSU SSID

- Successfully establishes a TLS session with OSU Server

- Sends "SOAP: sppPostDevData (requestReason, redirectURI, DevInfo + DevDetail MOs)" request

- Successfully receives "SOAP: sppPostDevDataResponse (sessionID, sppStatus, exec: launchBrowserToURI)" response and opens up Web Browser

- Performs registration

- Sends "SOAP: sppPostDevData (sessionID, requestReason, DevInfo+DevDetail MOs)" request to OSU Server

- Receives "SOAP: sppPostDevDataResponse (sessionID, sppStatus, addMO: PerProviderSubscription MO)" response from OSU Server

- BUT Sends back "SOAP: sppUpdateResponse (sessionID, sppStatus)" message with error code as "Error Occured"


We tried to debug it via Event Logs but could not find any detailed reason code as why it is returning this error. Our SOAP response is absolutely inline with Hotspot2.0 release 2.0 specification (8.4.2.1 Provisioning username and password credentials).


Can anyone help me with any pointer to debug this issue? If we can get detailed log at what point it is failing (while processing OSU response) on windows laptop. Which XML parameter it is not able to decode/rejecting?


We can even attach the request / response logs (SOAP) if required.



Best Regards,

Deepak

WiFi Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) related issue

Thank you for the response but the answer is not related to my question at all. My query is related to "Hotspot 2.0" a.k.a Passpoint technology (not plain old Hotspot).

 

WiFi Alliance Working on Passpoint Technology; FON Providers, Rejoice

In many markets, people and businesses with WiFi hotspots have began monetizing their idle internet bandwidth by sharing it with others via middleman service providers such as FON. While the business model itself is a solid one where everyone wins, it is faced with technical hurdles. Unlike cellular ISPs that use 3G HSDPA technologies, where the size of a "cell" is much larger than the coverage area of a WiFi hotspot, and where moving between cells is seamless, with close to no drops in connectivity (providing there are no dead-zones between the cells), WiFi hotspots have the issue of logging out of one hotspot before logging into another.

This issue makes moving between multiple FON hotspots result in temporary connectivity loss, which can be unacceptable in some situations (such as downloading something important when moving in a bus). No less than the WiFi Alliance is taking interest in eliminating this technical hurdle, by working on what's known as "Passpoint". Simply put, WiFi Passpoint technology lets clients move between physical hotspots without renegotiation (security and DHCP), making the movement seamless, and resulting in little or no connectivity loss, again, provided there's no dead-zone between the coverage areas of the hotspots users are switching between. A novel concept, which will improve wireless internet service.

wifi hotspot connection issues

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Let us follow these steps one by one to check if that makes any difference.

Step 1: You may run the Network Adapter troubleshooter to check if that helps.

• Type Troubleshoot in the Search bar of your PC and open the Troubleshoot settings.
  
• Scroll down the right pane and select ‘Network Adapter’ and click on ‘Run Troubleshooter’.
  
• The PC will then start checking for the possible errors and will possibly detect the issue.
  

Once this is done, restart the PC and check the wifi hotspot connectivity.

Step 2: If the issue persists, then you may want to
update the Network driver and check the status.

Step 3: You may also want to change the adapter settings.

• Open Mobile Hotspot settings on your PC.
  
• Press ‘Windows key + I’ to open Settings and go to ‘Network and Internet’.
  
• Scroll down the left pane and select ‘Mobile Hotspot’.
  
• Go to ‘Related Settings’ from the right pane and click on ‘Change adapter options’.
  
• Identify your mobile hotspot adapter, right click and go to ‘Properties’.
  
• Open Sharing tab and Uncheck “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”.
  

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
