So the simple idea is that we have a RADIUS server setup to allow users to authenticate with our Ruckus controller via user credentials. On authentication the user should be redirected to a page that allows them to manage MAC authenticated devices.
On everything we have tested so far, including "older" Android devices this seems to be no issue and things run as they should. However with Lollipop (5.0+) versions of Android the captive portal has changed quite a bit, and part of that change is to automatically close the captive portal that launches when you join the network. Because we want them to be redirected to a MAC device management page after authentication so they can add the device they currently logged in with and avoid having to log in again, this is bad.
What I have tried:
Detecting if the browser is being launched in a mobile device and popping an alert in onbeforeunload that attempts to keep the browser open.
Opening a new browser window, pointing to the redirection URL, when successful authentication is detected (essentially managing the redirect ourselves).
Performing Option 2, and then Option 1 on the redirected URL
What won't work:
Asking users to disable the captive portal option on their device. Not trying to point general users to advanced controls.
Creating an open network to access the MAC manager, it must be behind some authentication.
Solution For Now:
We are unhappy with this solution, but for now we are simply asking users to authenticate with the network and then open their browser and go to the basic login portal page (non-network authentication) that users use to manually add devices they can't connect with (like printers, gaming devices, etc.). Though this works, it is a pain for users to have to login, open a browser, manually enter a url, and login again.
This isn't a problem that people haven't run into, see here, I just haven't been able to find a solution from anyone that has run into the problem. Certainly there is some way of utilizing javascript or something to keep the browser open in this situation. If not, anyone have any better ideas for managing things?

We have managed to keep the UAM Browser / captive portal browser open on lollipop by adding firewall rules blocking :
- clients3.google.com
- clients1.google.com ,
- android.clients.google.com
- connectivitycheck.android.com
- connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
Thus after the user is authenticated the UAM / Captive Browser stays open.
You can keep UAM open as long as you need, you can close it by invoking a reverse proxied 204 redirect to google's connectivity page.

This appears to be new Captive Portal behavior in Android devices since the release of Lollipop (5.0).
We have not yet discovered a workaround. If there is an explicit way to disable the auto-dismissal it is probably only documented in the Android codebase available here (I've been looking, but haven't found anything definitive yet):

FYI, we've also noticed Android uses CloudFront CDN for its captive network detection. Our captive portal solution originally used CloudFront for assets, so we had to whitelist CloudFront subnets in pre-auth ACLs. Whitelisting CloudFront subsequently caused captive network detection to fail on recent Android devices. We had to abandon CloudFront CDN to restore captive portal functionality for Android devices.

Why don't you just hold captive portal opened after authentication? You can always allow access to every site except captive checking sites.
Tested and working both Android and iOS in all versions. If you need to access cookies/shared storage from default browser (not captive ios/android sandboxed browser), you gotta hop out it before authentication.
