This is for the FLAP-level sign on method. This is the oldest method of sign on, used prior to AIM 3.5. This refers to the FLAP__FRAME_SIGNON authentication method for a user to authenticate to the network. This works similar to, but is not the same as, FLAP__FRAME_SIGNON sequences used to connect to BOSS and other services.
Sequence
Below is a table laying out the sequence, which is further detailed in the sections below. Keep in mind that all of the packets are FLAP packets, and thus only the data is discussed.
| Origin | Name | Length | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Host | FLAP_VERSION | 4 | 00 00 00 01 | Always 0x01 |
| Client | FLAP_FRAME_SIGNON | blob | xx .. | TLV chain containing authentication information |
| Host | FLAP_FRAME_SIGNOFF | blob | xx .. | TLV chain of either BOSS or error information |
FLAP_FRAME_SIGNON

FLAP_FRAME_SIGNOFF

Clients are allowed to, but not required to, send their own empty FLAP_FRAME_SIGNOFF after receiving this one.
