5.1.4 Free Authentication

When the Free Authentication option is Enabled, users will have an option of logging in with an email address
without authentication. This can be activated under Service Zone Settings configurations. The constraints can be
set specifically with the mapped Group profile. MAC addresses will be checked to avoid malicious use of free
access.
When Free Account Access Time is set to Limited, Administrators can choose to set the Quota and Reactivation
Time. The server remembers the MAC address of the user. Hence the user can only get a new Free authentication
account after the reactivation time has been reached. An Access Limit may also be applied to a client to restrict
clients from misuse.
When Email Verification is enabled, Free Account users get an Email Activation time window. An email with an
activation link will be sent, and unless the link is clicked, the Free Account expires when Email Activation time is up.
Note that an SMTP Server is required to enable Email Verification.
