What is the third-party portal function on Reyee gateway?

Overview

Reyee EG series gateway devices can interwork with WISPr-compliant external authentication servers. After a wireless client is connected to the Wi-Fi network, a Portal page pops up. The wireless client needs to be authenticated before it can access the Internet. Based on the services provided by different authentication servers, you can choose RADIUS authentication, local account authentication, or no authentication for third-party authentication.

Getting Started

Ensure that the authentication server can obtain the MAC address of the wireless client:

• The gateway address of the wireless client to be authenticated is deployed on the authentication server
  
• If the gateway address of the wireless client to be authenticated is not deployed on the authentication server, then the device must act as a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the wireless client in order to obtain its MAC address. In this scenario, the Network Type must be set to Layer 3 Network.
  
  

Complete relevant configurations on the third-party authentication platform, and then enable the Wi-Fi authentication feature on the device. For specific configurations, see the configuration manual of relevant third party authentication platforms.

Configuration Steps

Choose One-Device > Gateway > Config >Advanced > Authentication > Cloud Auth.

• Set Server Type to Third-party Authentication, configure Auth Server URL, Client Escape and Authentication Type, and click Save
  
  

• (Optional) Considering the different HTTP parameters and request methods required by different third-party authentication platforms, you can customize third-party authentication parameters.
  
  

Verifying Configuration

Connect your smart phone to the specific Wi-Fi network to verify that the portal page pops up automatically. Connect to different authentication platforms to view services provided by these authentication platforms. After the connection is successful, view the details of the wireless client by going to Advanced > Authentication > Online Clients.
