Captive Portal Integration To start the visitor self-provisioning process, new visitor registration is performed by redirecting the visitor to the URL specified on the Hotspot Preferences page, for example: https://guest.spiffywidgets.com/ hotspot_plan.php. The hotspot_plan.php page accepts two parameters:  The source parameter is the IP address of the customer.  The destination parameter is the original URL the customer was attempting to access (that is, the customer's home page). This is used to automatically redirect the customer on successful completion of the sign-up process. For browsers without JavaScript, you may use the tag to allow customers to sign up: Hotspot Sign-Up However, in this situation the MAC address of the customer will not be available, and no automatic redirection to the customer's home page will be made. You may want to recommend to your customers that JavaScript be enabled for best results. Look and Feel The skin of a Web site is its external look and feel.

The default skin used by ClearPass Guest is the one that is enabled in the Plugin Manager. The skin is seen by all users on the login page. SMS Services Configure the following settings in the SMS Services section of the Hotspot Preferences form to override the default SMS settings with your own custom configuration.  SMS Receipt: Click this drop-down list to select the template you want to use for SMS receipts. The default value is SMS Receipt.  Phone Number Field: Click this drop down list and identify the field that contains the visitor's phone number. The default value is visitor_phone.  Auto-Send Field: Click this drop-down list and select the field which, when configured with any string or non-zero value, will trigger the automatic sending of an SMS receipt. The default value of this field is auto_send_sms. Hotspot Plans Your Hotspot plans determine how a customer is to pay for Internet access when connected through ClearPass Guest. You also have the option to allow free access. ClearPass Guest 3.9 | Deployment Guide Hotspot Manager | 417

The
Require HTTPS
field, when enabled, redirects guests to an HTTPS connection for greater security.
The
Service Not Available
Message allows a HTML message to be displayed to visitors if self-provisioning
has been disabled.
See
“Smarty Template Syntax”
in the Reference chapter for details about the
template syntax you may use to format this message.
Click the
Save Changes
button after you have entered all the required data.
Captive Portal Integration
To start the visitor self-provisioning process, new visitor registration is performed by redirecting the visitor
to the URL specified on the Hotspot Preferences page, for example: https://guest.spiffywidgets.com/
hotspot_plan.php.
The hotspot_plan.php page accepts two parameters:
The
source
parameter is the IP address of the customer.
The
destination
parameter is the original URL the customer was attempting to access (that is, the
customer’s home page). This is used to automatically redirect the customer on successful completion of
the sign-up process.
For browsers without JavaScript, you may use the
<
noscript
>
tag to allow customers to sign up:
<noscript>
</noscript>
However, in this situation the MAC address of the customer will not be available, and no automatic
redirection to the customer's home page will be made. You may want to recommend to your customers that
JavaScript be enabled for best results.
Look and Feel
The skin of a Web site is its external look and feel. It can be thought of as a container that holds the
application, its style sheet (font size and color for example), its header and footer and so forth.
The default skin used by ClearPass Guest is the one that is enabled in the Plugin Manager. The skin is seen
by all users on the login page.
SMS Services
Configure the following settings in the
SMS Services
section of the
Hotspot Preferences
form to
override the default SMS settings with your own custom configuration.
SMS Receipt
: Click this drop-down list to select the template you want to use for SMS receipts. The
default value is
SMS Receipt
.
Phone Number Field
:
Click this drop down list and identify the field that contains the visitor’s phone
number. The default value is
visitor_phone
.
Auto
-Send Field: Click this drop-down list and select the field which, when configured with any string or
non-zero value, will trigger the automatic sending of an SMS receipt. The default value of this field is
auto_send_sms
.
Hotspot Plans
Your Hotspot plans determine how a customer is to pay for Internet access when connected through
ClearPass Guest. You also have the option to allow free access.
