7 Set Up and Manage a Captive Portal This chapter describes how you can set up and manage a captive portal on the access point. A captive portal is a web page that users see when they attempt to connect to a WiFi network. A captive portal includes a splash page and usually requires some form of authentication for the user. The access point supports three types of captive portals: • Click-through captive portal: A basic portal for which the splash page is stored on the access point. For each WiFi network, you can set up a unique click-through captive portal. • External captive portal: A portal that is hosted by an external captive portal vendor. You can apply an external captive portal to multiple WiFi networks or you can apply a unique external captive portal to each WiFi network. • Facebook Wi-Fi captive portal: A Facebook business page that serves as a portal. You can configure a single Facebook Wi-Fi captive portal on the access point but you can apply it to multiple WiFi networks. The chapter includes the following sections: • Set up a click-through captive portal for a WiFi network • Set up an external captive portal for a WiFi network • Register and configure Facebook Wi-Fi for the access point • Set up a Facebook Wi-Fi captive portal for a WiFi network • Unregister the access point from Facebook Wi-Fi Note: A captive portal is not compatible with Multi PSK. To enable a captive portal, first disable Multi PSK (see Set up Multi PSK for a WiFi network on page 76). Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network we mean an individual SSID or VAP. 97
