Guest Policies

Enable Guest Portal Disabled by default. When disabled,

guests can access the Internet without entering a

password or accepting the terms of service. When this

option is enabled, you can control the Guest Portal.

Authentication When the Guest Portal is enabled, the

authentication options will appear:

• Authentication > No Authentication (see below)

• “Authentication > Simple Password” on page 33

• “Authentication > Hotspot” on page 34

• “Authentication > External Portal Server” on page 38

Authentication > No Authentication

Select this option if guests are not required to log in (you

can choose to require the terms of service).

Expiration Specify the guest login expiration after a

designated period of time: 8 hours, 24hours, 2 days, 3 days,

4 days, 7 days, or User-defined, which can be designated in

minutes, hours, and days.

Landing Page After connecting, guests are redirected to

the landing page. Select one of the following options:

• Redirect to the original URL After connecting, guests

are directed to the URL they requested.

• Promotional URL After connecting, guests are

redirected to the URL that you specify. Ensure that the

URL begins with http://. Example: http://www.ubnt.com

Use Secure Portal When selected, unauthorized guests

will be redirected to the HTTPS guest portal.

Redirect Using Hostname Select this option to enter and

use a hostname for the portal URL in place of the default

IP address. Paired with an SSL certificate, this ensures

that site certificates are displayed as trusted in the guest

browser. Example: www.ubnt.com

When logging in with No authentication, guests can click

Connect for immediate access.

If you enable the terms of service, then guests will be

required to accept the terms of use before gaining access

to the Internet.

the terms of service by the guest. See “Access Control” on

page 39 for more information.

guests will be redirected to the guest portal when they are

HTTPS browsing.

password (you can choose to require the terms of service).
