To configure your captive portal, you first need to identify the type of portal you have. There are two types of portals: web-based and mobile. Web-based portals use a web browser to access the portal. Mobile portals work with a phone or other mobile device to access the portal.
Once you have identified the type of portal, you need to configure settings in your network environment. You can configure these settings on the network level or on the individual device level. On the network level, you can configure settings such as the URL of the captive portal, whether users must sign in before accessing the portal, and how long users can remain logged in before they are prompted to sign out. On the device level, you can configure settings such as whether a user can access the captive portal from within an app, whether a user must enter his or her password to access the captive portal, and how long users can remain logged in before they are prompted to sign out.
