Captive Portal Detection is the process of identifying whether a user has authenticated to your network using a captive portal. In this article, we will show you how to login using different methods, including using an authentication application such as Duo Security's DuoAuth.
What is Captive Portal?
Captive portal is a feature in many routers and firewalls that allows users to access the router or firewall remotely, without having to enter their login credentials. The router or firewall can automatically detect when a user is attempting to access the network using their login credentials, and will redirect them to a captive portal page. This page will typically require the user to provide their username and password in order to continue accessing the network.
