I have HD2 with official India ROM. Here, I use the WiFi network of my workplace. The network connects to the internet. When I connect and go to browser, I'm asked to install a security certificate. Then, I'm presented with the page (not message box or popup window) which asks me to login to the network through a proxy. Once I login, I get the page with countdown (about 200 seconds). It refreshes in 200 seconds. I have to keep this tab open so that I remain logged in to the server. Even when I want to use WiFi as internet connection on other applications (like My Phone, and Mail), first I have to login through browser.
Is there any way to save user name and password to my network settings, so that I don't have to fire up browser each time I want to use the net.
Thanks in advance.

I have not been traveling a lot lately, but went to a Rodeo this past weekend. Stayed at a Comfort Inn, and discovered a problem when attempting to access the internet through their WIFI.
On my laptop, when I connect and open the Browser I am redirected to THEIR "accept the terms" screen, and after accepting the terms I am connected to the internet.
On my GT, I connect to their WIFI, but when I open the Browser it attempts to go to my home Page (Google) and states that the page is not available. The Tablet Browser is not "redirected" to their "accept the terms" page, so I cannot access the internet.
I tried clearing the Cache, and also clearing Data, but when the Browser is opened it still attempts to open the HOME page, which it cannot do since even though connected to their WIFI, there is no internet connection.
What am I missing? Anyone else solved this problem?
Thanks for any help.

I want to bump this issue, because I have this problem as well accept on my college network.
After you connect on a PC you get redirected to the college's login page. However much like the OP on my Tab it can connect to the wifi hotspot but then not get redirected to the login page, thus no internet access.
Note: I had no problem connecting then be redirected when I had my original Galaxy Tab with Overcome, but my Tab 10.1 with Overcome fails to connect (same if running stock rom)
BUMP looking for a solution.

Yeah I have the same bloody hotspot issue, Apparently Market App, Wifi Tether should work/ help you sought out that issue.
Happened to me alot on the GB and HC series, But on kang's ICS I get the actual notification that I am required to log in to allow internet access
Is there a way that I can connect via VPN to my work's network, but only have it be used for apps that require that pipe? ie, not have all data go over the VPN.
Ex. On my Win7 machine, I can setup the VPN and uncheck the option to "use this as default network connection", so that i still keep my normal internet, but anytime I reference a network address, it properly uses the VPN.
Anything like that for Android?
I have a verizon hotspot for the road so I have connection while traveling. It always worked great, however now on Android 5.1, half the time when the phone connects to the hotspot, it asks me to "Sign into network". I click the sign into network, and there is nothing to sign into and it connects.
The problem is, I am trying to make it all automatic. When I lose data from my carrier, Wi-Fi is turned on and connects to the hotspot. That's when the "Sign into network" pops up. If I don't click the the sign into network notification within a couple minutes, Android flags that network as having no internet, and won't automatically reconnect until I forget the network and connect to it again.
Does anyone know why android keeps asking to sign in to the network when there isn't anything to sign into? When I click sign into network, it brings up the sign in activity, shows a loading bar, then the sign activity goes away and I'm connected.
Perhaps there is a way to automatically 'click' the "Sign into Network" notification when it pops up?
I solved it. I'm not sure why Android keeps wanting me to login (perhaps the verizon hotspot is logging every connection, and Android sees that as a captive portal). Every time I got the "Sign into Wi-Fi network", it was when I still had some sort of mobile data connection. Now, because Android switches to mobile data if you need to sign in to a wifi, it never tries to get internet on the wifi until the user actually taps the notification to sign in.
Now, if there is NO mobile data connection (both wifi and mobile signals have an exclamation mark), Android will keep trying to gain access to the WiFi without user interaction. Because of the initial confusion, Android thinks I need to login to the hotspot, but if it would check again, it would see that there is access.
So the solution is to detect if there is a notification for "Sign into Wi-Fi network", and if there is, disable mobile network data until the Wi-Fi network is connected. I did this in a bit of a different way for my application, but the concept is the same.
This is the solution for all of those apps that automate WiFi logins with real captive portals that broke with Android 5. The only downside is they would now require root in order to disable mobile data.
Maybe a stupid question here but is there anyway to turn on a notification for this? I have to use the guest wifi at work which requires agreeing to terms of service. On my previous phone (S6 Active) once connecting to the wifi I would get a notification to Sign in to Wifi, i could tap it and it would bring up a browser and go to the sign in page. On my S9+ however I don't get any notification to sign in. Looking through the wifi settings I don't see any option for it. Am I missing something?
Wow. No one?
My phone prompts me when Xfinity wifi or otherwise is nearby and requests me to do so. Check wifi settings. Click on wifi, advanced, and it's in there.

I get prompts for nearby wifi's and I see that option. That is not what I am talking about though. The guest wifi at work is saved in my phone so when i get there it connects automatically but I don't have internet access until i agree to terms on the sign in page. On my S6 Active, after connecting, I would get a prompt telling me that i need to sign into the network, I would tap it and it would bring up the sign in page. I am no longer getting that prompt. On my S9+ it connects and thats it. There is no visible indicator of not having internet access.
The reason this is an issue for me is because the guest wifi disconnects sessions after a set amount of time. Both phones automatically reconnect but on my old phone i would have that notification, on this phone I don't.
Running VS99630C on V30
I can use any wifi system that requires a password with no problem
When I try to access a guest wifi that reuires no password such as Barnes & Noble, Dunkin, LA Fitness, instead of getting a prompt to sign in to the network which normally gives me the login screen, I get "Wifi Connected - no Internet
Reboot has not solved the problem.

Once you're connected to the wifi, go to the settings for THIS wifi and select "Use this network as is". In your browser, enter 1.1.1.1 to log into the network.
Note 1.1.1.1 is assumed to be used for that router.

Thanks for your reply, After searching the web I found this solution
"If you find yourself needing to login, the first thing you should try is just opening up the browser and navigate to a webpage. In most cases, I’ve found that this will automatically redirect me to the network’s login page if I haven’t logged in already, and then I’m just a few taps away from having full connection. If this doesn’t work, though, there’s a second option that not many people know about. If you head to 192.168.1.1, the most common default router IP address, I’ve found that nine times out of ten I’m immediately redirected to the login page."
The second solution worked for me.
