Hello,

 

I'm currently using:

OC200

ER605

SG2008P

EAP620HD

EAP110-Outdoor

 

For providing Internet to a small Hostel and Restaurant.

So my current issue is: authenticating clients for the restaurant (about 1-3 hours of connection) and authenticating hosts: 1 day or 2-3 days of connection.

 

It would be so very valuable if i could set several Simple Password authentication in my portal.

So I connect with let's say: 1 hour password for dinners.

And 1 day pasword for hosts

Or 3 days password (or what ever I want to have)

 

The solution I have approach is: have Simple Password set to 24hrs and if a host stays more than 1 day then I either have to relog them when time expires or enter the controller > go to Hotspot manager > authorized clients > and extend their conection. BUT my daily customers from the restaurant keep connected the whole day which I dont want.

 

I tried Vouchers BUT, the problems are several: not being able to create a customized password and only random generated. A single password won´t work for several clients or several days after created (despite the options saying its possible I wasn't able to make 1 password work for 100 clients or for several days). So I need to continually recreate more vouchers (and printing is out of the talking: it's a waste of paper, time and ink. Today's world is digital). So I may create vouchers with different timeout options but not able to customize the password and make it last as I require.

 

Also tried Local Users BUT, if i create a local user (user name and password), I have to create it to expire on a specific date (not specific time) and can't be reused. I'm not talking about entering the OC200 again and creating this for every customer: impossible!

 

So, what I'm asking is very simple: just unify all these options into one simple authentication option (or enhance one of those). So one may choose to create (and customize) several passwords with different timeout options.

 

Examples are:

Password for 15 min connection

Password for 1 hour connection

Password for 1 day connection

Password for 3 days connection

and so on... as anyone needs.

 

Please would appreciate any feedback on this issue... if it's possible to do what I ask (and I'm not seeing it), please tell me how and/or consider the option to create more than one Simple Password to be able to choose different timeouts for clients.

 

Best Regards.
