1 Introduction

"Web Auth" brings you below features:

  • "User & Pass Auth": correct username and password are required to access internet. You can use WFilter local accounts service or third party services(Email, LDAP, Radius) for authentication.
  • "Third Party Auth": interface for third party authentication. The authentication logic is done via a third party service. For example:
    • Facebook Wi-Fi
    • WeChat Wi-Fi
    • SMS authentication

Together with other modules, you can:

  • Display usernames for client devices.(Real-time Bandwidth)
  • Record internet activites by username.(Logs & Reports)
  • Set access policy by username.(Access Policy)
  • Query webauth login history.(Accounts)

When enabled, clients in the target ip ranges will be required for username and password when browsing webpages.
