How to Create a new Authentication System
Authentication systems enable users to log into your SputnikNet network. Here's how to create them.
Log into SputnikNet and select "Authentication".
Click on "Authentication" from the main menu.
Add the new authentication system.
Click on the "+" button to add a new authentication system.
Select the type of authentication system you want to use.
Select an authentication system from the pop-up menu.
Name your authentication system.
The "name or description" is what will appear in SputnikNet. The "display name" is shown to users when there are multiple login choices.
Check "Allow Duplicate Logins" if you want multiple users to be able to log in with the same credentials at the same time. If not checked, older sessions will terminate when a new login with the same credentials occurs.
Check "Display warning about popup" to show a message to users warning them not to close the session monitor window, which they can use to track their time online and to terminate their session.
Click "Add" to create the new authentication system.
Popup warning.
Here is a sample of what the popup warning looks like. It is not editable.
Edit your authentication system settings.
Each authentication system has an "Edit Settings" page where you can configure specific settings for that system. For more information, refer to the appropriate chapters in our online documentation.
Add as many authentication systems as needed.
SputnikNet enables you to configure and use multiple authentication systems, any of which can be applied to multiple captive portals and Sputnik-powered devices. This gives you enormous flexibility in building your wireless network.
