Configuring the Hotspot settings

2. Click the AUTHENTICATION tab and enable External Portal Server

NOTE: UniFi requires you to enter an IP. However since we will use domain-based authentication, the IP won’t be important.

3. Under Landing Page settings choose the following:

For Domain and the Pre-Auth domains, use:
