Auto-Login (also known as Smart Authentication) ties a user device to a user account and pre-authenticates a user when opening the Splash Page.
Prerequisites
This is a MAC-based authentication is supported when the access point used is able to send the user's MAC address to the Splash Page.
First Access
When Auto-Login is enabled and the end-user opens the Splash Page for the first time on his/her device, he/she will follow the normal authentication method, according to the Sign-up Method selected in the Cloud4Wi Dashboard.
After access has been successfully authenticated, Cloud4Wi internally stores the MAC address of the end-user.
Second Access
When the end-user opens the Splash Page during second access with Auto-Login enabled, he/she don't have to manually authenticate: the Splash Page recognizes the MAC address of the end-user and automatically sends an access request to the RADIUS server.
If the request is successful, then the end-user can just open the Splash Page and be automatically logged in.
Note: Log out Button
Please note that when Auto-Login is enabled, the Logout button will not be available on the Splash Page.
