1. A method comprising:
after making an access request to a wi-fi network, performing, by a user device with an access point of the wi-fi network, an authentication operation with the wi-fi network using credentials existing in the user device to authenticate the user device to the wi-fi network;
based on the authentication operation, authenticating with a four way handshake to the wi-fi network, wherein the authenticating with the four way handshake is successful even though a subscription remediation is required by the user device, and wherein based on the required remediation a connectivity of the user device is limited to a subscription remediation server;
based on the required remediation, automatically retrieving a uniform resource indicator of the subscription remediation server from a pre-stored management object and generating a message to the uniform resource indicator of the subscription remediation server;
in response to the message, receiving from the subscription remediation server at least one device management package; and
in response to the receiving, executing at the user device the at least one device management package, wherein the executed at least one device management package causes, without user intervention, at least one of automatic creation of a new client certificate and automatic replacement of a password with a new value of the password at the user device in order to address the required subscription remediation.
