Captive Portal

System > Captive Portal
The captive portal feature allows you to provide customized authentication typically for
public WiFi users and guest user authentication. Captive Portal authentication for WiFi is
typically used in areas such as hotel lobbies, airports, coffee shops and other WiFi hot
spots. The access points supports both captive portal authentication through the built-in
user account database and basic portal customization or CoovaChilli which is an open-
source implementation of captive portal (UAM) function and 802.1X RADIUS (please
note CoovaChilli requires an external CoovaChilli server which must be preconfigured to
work and authenticate requests through the access point). You may want to disable
standard WiFi security methods on the selected SSIDs such as WEP/WPA/WPA2 in order
to use the captive portal authentication method instead. Before applying captive portal
functionality to select wireless profiles, the captive portal type must be configured first
along with all required parameters.
Select the captive portal mode:

Internal Captive Portal – This mode allows you to authenticate requests
through the built-in user account database and apply basic customization
to the captive port user login page. This option is recommended and does
not require an external authentication server.

Redirect URL – This mode requires no authentication and allows
redirection of users to a specific website/URL.

Captive Portal with RADIUS (CoovaChilli) – This mode requires an
external CoovaChilli server to be configured to provide the captive portal
user login page and authenticate request through the access point.
