1. A method comprising:
at a first device, while the first device is connected to a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a second device is unconnected to the WLAN, establishing a secure channel to the second device using an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) exchange; sending, to the second device via the secure channel, at least one credential associated with the WLAN to enable the second device to connect to the WLAN; receiving, at the first device, at least one application layer credential supplied by a user via user input; and sending, to the second device via the secure channel, the at least one application layer credential supplied by the user to enable the second device to access a network external to the WLAN. |
