Hello
Is it possible to connect an ESP8266 to an WLAN which has an authentication- system (username & password)?
Thankful for answers.
have a look at ESP8266 Wi-Fi tutorial and examples
Do you mean that after you connect to WiFi (with SSID and, possibly, password) you have to use a browser to get to a login dialog where you enter your username and password?
Username (SSID) and password (PW) are normally hard-coded in your sketch.
They can also be configurated afterwards, with a captive portal.

I think they are talking about a username, not the SSID. The SSID identifies the network, not the user. Some private LANs require a login in addition to the SSID (and possible password).
thats exactly what i am looking for
yes.
I think your ESP8266 has to act like a browser. I needs to detect when the login dialog page is presented and fill in the form for you. I would start by using a regular browser to find out the URL for the login dialog. Then use the ESP8266 to request that URL and print out the response from the server. The HTML code of that page should tell you what form fields there are that you have to send.
