hi @Alan

Are you able to advise if the “External Captive Portal for Advertising Servers” would work with the following:

Parameters to be appended:

@rocknolds, may I know the “External Captive Portal for Advertising Servers” here is referring to the customer’s advertising servers?

The parameters you provided are the fields required by the customer’s server?

Hi @TK_Liew

The server can be thought of as just a webpage that is whitelisted.

The details appended to the URL are then processed by the server when the user is directed there.

The webpage then returns an authorised message in a hidden form or otherwise to notify the AP to let the user have full access.

Can I confirm these are the parameters you need to collect once a Wifi client successful redirected and signed into the external Captive Portal? You need us to customized our device’s Captive Portal, right?

Hello @Hououin_Kyouma,
Here is an example of the Time Quota we use with one of our customers.

Shown is what the users see every 60 minutes

Our client requires the interruption so to encourage safety at there locations (this is one of many around the country operating this way).
Happy to Help,
Marcus

Hi @ mldowling Is there a way to manipulate the time qouta “time_left” via code?
