The previous procedure (redirecting HTTP traffic from offline users) must continue to be supported. The current document suggests still sending the ICMP responses because, on the one hand, it is initially unclear whether the client is able to understand the new interface, and on the other hand, a device\u002Foperating system might both perform the old connection check and attempt to access the new API.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Why ICMP?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>ICMP was the big surprise for us in this draft – yet we consider it the right choice. If a device is denied network access (so far), it must be informed about it. The device opens every connection via IP and is blocked by the captive portal. With ICMP, there is a way to notify the client without being dependent on a specific higher-level protocol, such as the current proprietary connection check via unencrypted HTTP. For example, if a device’s first connection was an SMTP connection to a mail server, the captive portal can now respond with an ICMP message and thereby communicate the restrictions to the device.\u003Cbr \u002F>An interesting aspect of the ICMP notification is that it does not contain a URL to the captive API, as this would enable simple attacks. The URL for the API is transmitted via the DHCP option (RFC-7710). Of course, DHCP is also not secure and can be forged, but these new additions will at least not lower the security barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>The CAPPORT interface\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>With the CAPPORT API, the client can communicate with a captive portal via a classic HTTP interface using JSON as the data format. It is necessary to use HTTPS (HTTP over TLS – version 1.2 or higher). While the device already knows it is behind a captive portal, it now wants to retrieve the current status and some details regarding network restriction. Primarily, the interface must provide a URL for the login page, but also other optional information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An example request and response could look like this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>GET \u002Fcaptive-portal\u002Fapi\u002FX54PD\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>Host: example.org\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>Accept: application\u002Fcaptive+json\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The server then responds with this JSON content for this client:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>HTTP\u002F1.1 200 OK\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>Cache-Control: private\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2018 05:07:35 GMT\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>Content-Type: application\u002Fcaptive+json\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>{\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>      “permitted”: false,\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>      “user-portal-url”: “https:\u002F\u002Fexample.org\u002Fportal”\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>      “expire-date”: “2019-01-01T23:28:56.782Z”\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003Cem>}\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this is, of course, a draft, but it clearly shows what this interface can offer us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Online or not?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>There is currently a debate as to whether the captive portal can only signal a binary state to a device – online or offline – compared to a differentiated version where the device can recognize that it is allowed to access certain resources (as in a walled garden) but cannot establish a connection to other servers on the internet. We would clearly prefer the latter, as captive portals are mainly used in environments with many restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Outlook\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>The current status looks promising to us as a manufacturer, and we are very interested in implementing this interface as soon as a first version is available. The lack of support for RFC-7710 has shown that it depends on the two major mobile operating system providers – Google and Apple – whether all of this can be used one day. Looking at the list of email addresses of the IETF working group participants, it appears that people from both companies are involved, so we can continue to hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can find

However, the real challenge only begins afterward: How can an increasing number of mutually independent organizations be operated efficiently over the long term without administrative and operational overhead growing at the same rate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is precisely the question currently facing managed service providers, internet service providers, hotel groups, educational institutions, and multi-site enterprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>The Real Challenge Begins After Go-Live\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Today, a new deployment is rarely the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A site is set up, the captive portal is configured, and commissioning is completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real work only begins afterward: users must be managed, software updated, policies adjusted, and support tickets resolved. Each additional customer or site brings its own requirements, responsibilities, and processes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ten installations, this overhead is hardly noticeable. With a hundred, it dominates everyday operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>A Pattern Repeating Across Industries\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, we have encountered this pattern time and again across numerous discussions with partners and customers—regardless of whether they operate in managed services, education, or hospitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A municipal data center manages approximately 50 schools. Each school requires its own user management, custom settings, and the ability to operate autonomously. At the same time, security policies must be enforced centrally, and visibility across all sites must be maintained. A typical case, not an isolated one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hotel group faces a similar challenge. Each hotel needs to operate autonomously without sacrificing centralized standards and shared management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managed service providers experience the exact same trend, only in an intensified form. Those managing ten customers know every configuration in detail and calculate their overhead per customer accordingly. When that same provider grows to fifty customers, it is not just the number of installations that increases, but also update cycles, support tickets, and escalation paths. The original calculation per customer no longer holds up: revenue grows linearly, while internal overhead scales faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely at this point that margins begin to shrink for many providers, even as the business appears to grow from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The industries differ. The pattern remains the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Growth Changes the Operating Model\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>In response, many organizations invest in more powerful infrastructure, new features, or additional staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far less often is it questioned whether the operating model itself still fits the organization’s scale. This is where the primary bottleneck typically emerges: when every new customer adds administrative overhead, it is not just the business that grows—complexity increases as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiring more staff may alleviate this bottleneck in the short term. In the long run, however, what scales most is administrative overhead, not the business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Why Multi-Tenant Is Moving Into Focus\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>As organizations expand, a fundamental question arises with increasing urgency: does every organization really need to operate its own management platform? Or is there a more efficient way to manage many segregated organizations centrally without compromising their autonomy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is precisely why Multi-Tenant is gaining importance—not as a new buzzword or short-lived trend, but as an answer to operational requirements driven by the growth of modern IT organizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For managed service providers, internet service providers, hotel groups, educational institutions, and multi-site enterprises, Multi-Tenant is increasingly becoming a strategic decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the crucial question is no longer whether Multi-Tenant makes sense. It is: at what scale does the traditional operating model cease to support growth and instead become the limiting factor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>IACBOX Multi-Tenant Is in Its Final Stages\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely to address these requirements that we are currently developing IACBOX Multi-Tenant. It will allow multiple segregated customers, sites, or organizations to be managed centrally via a single platform—without sacrificing their autonomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Development is already in its final stages.
