Integration
Although the D-Link DSA-3600 supports both internal and external Captive portal functionality,
this integration guide will focus on the later as the internal HTML Authentication dictates the use
of the internal Login Page resident on the controller itself. The Login page is very basic and
doesn’t allow for significant customization as is possible with the amigopod Web Logins feature.
Note
: D-Link now allows for customised Captive portal pages to be uploaded onto the gateway
but this process requires a significant amount of web design and javascript experience to
produce a professional result. One of amigopod’s strongest selling points is the Skin Plugin
technology where the presentation of the User Interface is separated from the mechanics of the
underlying application. This allows amigopod to supply end users with a ready branded Skin for
all amigopod interaction (both Visitor and Administrators) for a small nominal fee at time of
purchase.
The integration will also leverage the DSA-3600’s ability to define and reference external
RADIUS servers for the authentication and accounting of visitor accounts. In the standalone D-
Link ONDEMAND Guest provisioning solution the local database in each gateway is used to
store user credentials, limiting the solution to the scope of the local deployment. With the
introduction of amigopod, all visitor accounts are created, authenticated and accounted for on
the amigopod internal RADIUS Server.
