Introduction #
The Event Access Login Module is designed for seamless Wi-Fi onboarding at events, conferences, or temporary access scenarios. This module automatically connects users to the network without displaying a captive portal, enabling a frictionless login experience.
Upon connection, users are automatically authenticated and redirected to a predefined URL, such as an event page, conference schedule, or sponsor website. The session remains active for a configured time period, after which the connection expires.
How It Works #
-
A user connects to the event Wi-Fi.
-
The system automatically logs in the device without showing a captive portal.
-
The user is redirected to a predefined webpage.
-
The session remains active for the configured session duration.
-
Once the session expires, the user must reconnect to regain access.
Configuring the Event Access Login Module #
Step 1: Enable Event Access Login #
-
Navigate to Sign In Administration > Login Portal > Portal Configurations.
-
Select Event Access as the sign-in module.
Step 2: Configure Redirect and Session Timeout #
-
Enter the Redirect URL, which determines where users will be sent after connection.
-
Set the Session Timeout (in minutes) to define how long the user remains connected.
-
Click Update Settings to save changes.
Viewing Event Logins #
Administrators can monitor connected devices via the Event Logins page:
-
Navigate to Sign In Administration > Sign In Modules > Event Access Logins.
-
The system displays active and historical logins with:
-
Device Type
-
Connection Time
-
Session Expiration Time
-
Last Seen Activity
-
Device Name & MAC Address
-
Important Considerations #
-
No captive portal is displayed – users are automatically onboarded upon connection.
-
Session expiration is enforced – once the timeout is reached, users must reconnect.
-
Redirection is required – users will be forwarded to the configured URL upon connection.
-
Device tracking is available – administrators can monitor connected devices and session activity.
Summary #
The Event Access Login Module provides seamless Wi-Fi access by automatically authenticating users and redirecting them to a predefined webpage. It ensures a frictionless login experience ideal for conferences, trade shows, and temporary access setups. 🚀
