If you are new to captive portal setup, or if your company has recently updated their security measures, this article will walk you through the process of setting up a login page for your users.
What is a Captive Portal?
Captive portals are used as a security measure for internal networks. When users attempt to access resources on the network other than those specifically intended for them, the portal will require authentication before allowing them access. This authentication can be done through a user name and password or by using a token that is generated when the user first accesses the portal.
