Hi Hector- How (or where) do you enforce the http/https restriction? Any demand to allow VPN protocols out? I'm guessing that the admin website for account creation is on another box- can you describe the integration? And I'm guessing this is on a guest SSID? Finally- one thing that perplexes me a bit- we have 24 controllers- how would you gracefully coordinate the portal across all of them? Isn't it really one portal per controller and there's no way to force users from other APs on other controllers through a common portal? Thanks- Lee Lee H.

We use the web access portal strictly for guest access, we limit it to http and https only, and we require user authentication. Sponsored guest accounts can be created by any staff or faculty through a website (we don't use the lobby ambassador because it was just not flexible enough for our needs). Accounts are only valid for up to 7 days. The only issue I've had with it was when I tried to add HTML code into the message field. Evidently there was a bug that caused the controller to crash. I'm sure it's been resolved in newer releases. Other than that it has worked fine.
