Use Social Media Apps to self-register guests

Social Media Apps can be used to register Guest Devices when the Portal is active on a WiFi Broadcast. The Guest Portal can be configured in SteelConnect Manager > Network Design > Portals > New Portal > Type: Guest Portal - Authenticated.

Once the portal is added it can be assigned to a WiFi Broadcast in SteelConnect Manager > WiFi > Broadcasts > Portal.

When configured, Guests can validate themselves with the Social Media App you have configured. Once registered and validated Guest Devices will then be allowed access the Zone. Just a quick reminder that Guest Zones are always masqueraded and have no possibility to be part of the RouteVPN topology. Once a Guest Zone is created it can’t be changed to a standard Zone.

Guest Device Registration is possible using

• Mobile Number (via SMS)
• Email Address
• Social Media Apps (Facebook, Google, Twitter)
