Configure The Hotspot To Use Local Shared Password Authentication - Digi TX54 User Manual

Hotspot

Configure the hotspot to use local shared password authentication

Local shared password authentication requires each user to enter a password. This password is
validated locally on the TX54 device, and the password is the same for all users.
By default, the router redirects unauthenticated users to the HTML authentication page located on
the router at etc/config/hotspot/password.html. You can customize the authentication page as
needed, or host an authentication page on a remote server. See
further information.
