no, I am using splashaccess to sign up. It is actually a sponsored Guest portal. So the captive portal asks you for your email and the email of the person you are visiting. The person you are visiting then gets an email to approve the access. Once thats approved the end device is granted access. The way I think this works is simply based on MAC address. So lets say the Guest returns the next day to the same office, they will automatically join as the device MAC is authorised for whatever time period was approved. The bit I am not sure of is where that MAC address list is held, the APs or the Orchestrator. But either way it appears it is "Network" based only. So that Guest can only seamlessly join within the Office they originally signed up for. Thanks for you help.

No it doesn't work I'm afraid. I have 2 APs, each in their own network, and 1 template attached to both networks delivering a Guest network with a splash access sign on page. If I join 1 of the APs I get the Captive Portal and sign up successfully. Then if I move to other AP I get the Captive Portal again so have to sign up again. What I wanted was to be able to sign up in one office and move between offices without signing up each time. Thanks

Brilliant thanks, the networks I tested this with were on different templates, so i'll adjust that and test it again. I will let you know...

Hello all. I think I know the answer to this but want to check. Lets say I create an open ssid with a click through splash page that uses a third party for registration, with the intention of using this as Guest Wi-Fi across multiple corporate offices. If a guest signs up in one office and gets connected, will they have to go through the same sign up process if they go to another office with the same SSID, but within a different "Network" within the Meraki Portal. My understanding is that once a client has signed up, the client MAC is put into an authorised state and shared among the APs within that network only. Basically I want a Guest Wi-Fi that you can sign up to in one Office, and it will work across loads of different offices within the authorised timeframe. Thanks all

Yeah I had this problem, I thought it was cosmetic but in fact is was because our email security system was testing the link in the email before sending it on. Somehow it wasn’t enough to approve the request, thankfully. I had the link whitelisted in the email system and now you get a nice “thank you approving ….” Something like that. You can test it by opening up your email domain setting in the portal to include a domain that doesn’t have such scanning, I did it with gmail and it comes through untouched.

cheers, yes tried that but the devices show up as 'unauthorised' in the meraki portal even though they have been approved by ISE and indeed do have access. Might have been a radius message problem, the access accept was definitely working, but the username and auth status was not getting back. Plus from ISE's point of view I couldn't see full details of the client either.

Thanks, yes I have requested a trial from Splashaccess and am waiting to hear back, my only concern is that the product description reads as though it can provide an ambassador solution and not a sponsor, but I will find out.

Hi all, I have requested a new feature in the dashboard but wanted to post it here to see if anyone else with this problem thinks this is a good idea, or if anyone has found another way to overcome this. As we know, the Sponsored Guest Feature is awesome, but lacks reporting and controls. It is not possible to view the Users Name or email address used to request access, and that leaves us with just a device name and person who approved it to look at live. We can't even see authorized Guests who are not currently joined. I know this has been kicking around for quite a while so I assume there is a good technical reason for this, i.e these are not credentials as such, and instead just used to create an account based on the mac address of the device (something like that anyway) So I was thinking it would be great if we could do this: If we can use the "Sign On With Meraki Auth" feature and turn on "allow users to create their own accounts", and then in addition add an option to allow the account to be authorised by a Sponsor chosen by the Guest at the time of login (within an email domain). So it is the same process and the current Sponsored Guest, but a Meraki Account is created in the process and used to Web Auth on. This way we can see the user and device. It would need to option to put time limits on the accounts so they can auto expire but that doesn't sound too difficult as I seem to be able to put expiry dates on manually after an account is created. Good idea or no? For anyone reading this who has the same problems, has anyone found another way to get better reporting? Maybe with a 3rd party splash page? Cheers Matt
