standalone captive portal on Apache
Thu, 01/29/2009 - 20:05 — piotr
hi group,
i'm just wondering is it possible to run CoovaChilli captive portal on Apache as a standalone web app? i would like to have it on http://myserver.com" target="_blank (accessible over the internet), i do not need RADIUS just want to login using my hardcoded u/p and get correct WISPr messages back. how can i do that?
regards,
Piotr

hi david,
thanks. is there a way to emulate that redirection from chilli? so my www webserver does the redirection?
thanks for your help!
Re: standalone captive portal on Apache
The simple thing you are missing is that you need to be viewing that CGI script AFTER you are redirected to it from Chilli. If you go directly with your browser, then it doesn't know the info from the router/hotspot.

please help, I'm really missing something simple!
Re: standalone captive portal on Apache
You are using 'local users' with CoovaChilli? Then yes, you can have a captive portal without any RADIUS setup (though, technically, CoovaChilli always needs RADIUS configured, but in this case it wouldn't be used and/or just serve as an accounting stream). From your captive portal, you can have it redirect back to chilli for login using your hardcoded username/password.
