Login types per segment

[chrkov]

Hi,

We are testing out Firstspot as our solution for hotspots. We plan on having a central server with multiple network segments.

First question. Is there a limit on the number of network segments?

Second question. Can I have some segments require Username and Password and other segments to use anonymous or shared? We plan on having a couple spots be free so this is very important.

Everything else looks good so far. The second question is the only one I have not been able to work yet.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks

Chris

1) There is no hard limit in the number of network segments

2) No, you can only either select username/password or anonymous option. Since we allow you to have one login page per segment, one workaround is to customize the "Redirect PHP file" for some network segments. Refer to "Redirect PHP file" in firstspot_guide.pdf for details.

I think this would be a great feature to add to the software to be able to do this.

ok. Now, I have read the section on the login_form.php and I am still not sure how I can get around requiring a Username/Password. The system still requires it. Correct? And since the system will only allow on Username active at a time, I cant hardcode a U & P into the code to bypass it.

So how would I go about in a Username and Password scenario to allow one segment to have free access?
