Want to offer your guests hassle-free WiFi? Consider deploying a UniFi Captive Portal. Instead of just creating another SSID with a basic password, remember to lock down your main network. The UniFi Guest Portal can keep guest users separate and restrict their access to a few hours.
Configuring the captive portal via the UniFi Control is a breeze. Activate guest isolation to block guest access to your internal network—no VLANs required. Plus, you can use the portal to market your products or services.
If you don’t have one already you will need to create an SSID for guests. You can do this by adding new a new WiFi network as per below:
Once the guest SSID is set up correctly, the next step is to configure the UniFi captive portal, as per the instructions below:
The above instructions are for configuring the external portal server as the UniFi Captive Portal. To use other authentication adjust in the authentication tab
You need to create a new site specific controller user. MyPlace then uses these credentials to communicate with the controller with the UniFi API
Yes, the MyPlace Social WiFi service works on all UniFi controller versions, including version 7.4 and higher
You can create a site specific controller user that only has API access to that one site. This way there will not be any access to the other sites on your controller
In the guest hotspot section, MyPlace will automatically configure the external portal server authentication option. All redirection and whitelist configurations get applied automatically via the UniFi API
Yes, the MyPlace UniFi guest portal service works with the UniFi cloud key. Simply put a port forward to the cloud key on port 443 and create a local user. MyPlace will take care of the rest
If your UniFi network application is on a local server you need to put a port forward to your server on port 8443. Create a site specific controller user and MyPlace take care of the rest
The UniFi guest portal service provides options to apply time limits to guest access. You can also limit download speeds and restrict limits on how much can be downloaded
Yes, MyPlace can provide a short list of IP addresses that you can allow access for. This is a good idea as it stops your network application from being publicly exposed
UniFi controller online means that the controller is publicly accessible via any browser. The reason for this is that UniFi use their API to send commands to and from the controller, therefore the controller must always be available. The best way to achieve this is UniFi cloud hosting, however an on premise server or cloud key exposed to a public url will work just as well.
Yes, the MyPlace UniFi captive service works perfectly with the UDM and UDM Pro. Just put a port forward to your UDM on port 443 and create a local user. We take care of the rest
No, you still manage and control your own network. MyPlace only configures the guest policy part of the network to facilitate guest authentication
Yes, you will need to make sure that certain ports are not restricted on the local firewall and on the UniFi controller host. UniFi publish a list of required ports that you can refer to. MyPlace can provide a short list of IP addresses that you can restrict access to
Yes, MyPlace will work all UniFi network application versions. We test all new controller versions well in advance. We also have an internal testing process that verifies all API endpoints on all controller versions
Yes, your UniFi controller or network application will need to have an SSL cert attached to the hostname. If it doesn’t then you can use the IP address and MyPlace will generate a hostname with an SSL cert for you
Yes, the MyPlace UniFi captive portal service will work with the UniFi cloud console. Simply retrieve the unique UniFi cloud console hostname and use it along with site specific user credentials to connect to MyPlace
No, you do not need to add a new UniFi admin for any additional sites that you may want to add to the MyPlace Service. You simply need to extend the privileges of the existing admin, to the new site. That site will then become available to connect on the MyPlace Dashboard. This is assuming you already have one site using the MyPlace service on that controller
No, you do not need a USG or UniFi switch to work with our service. All you need is at least one UniFi access point
The UniFi Guest Portal service works really well as a away to capture guest email and more for busy customer facing venues. However like any business critical service, you need to run regular health checks and status updates so that the WiFi users have a perfect experience every time. That is why we developed our advanced UniFi Guest Portal health check system, so that we can be sure that your integration is set up correctly
The UniFi Guest Portal uses the UniFi API which uses the url string for authentication. We need to verify that the site id embedded in the url is unique and not a duplicate or the UniFi “default” ID
Verification that an SSID with guest policy exists and that it is accessiable even if in a WLAN group
The site ports check is a test to make sure that the ports on the local router/gateway are open as required. Sometimes port restrictions are in place locally and this can block some of the required routes that the UniFi Guest Portal requires
Verify the existence of VLANs on the guest network. Ordinarily a VLAN will not cause any issue with the UniFi Guest Portal but it does warrant some extra tests to make sure the connection is working correctly
The UniFi guest portal requires an open connection to the UniFi controller at all times. This test is to verify that the API logon credentials are working as required
The controller needs to be accessible via a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and this is a test to confirm that this is indeed in place.
This is a test to make sure that none of the port access required by the UniFi Guest Portal API have restrictions in place. This test is specifically for the ports on machine hosting the UniFi controller . If certain ports are restricted then you can see issues like delays on the guest portal authentication.
The UniFi controller public domain needs to have an active SSL cert for a smooth WiFi user experience. This test verifies the presence or lack thereof of a valid SSL cert
With the MyPlace UniFi Captive Portal service you can direct any WiFi user that is on the guest network to an external portal server. This service is hosted by MyPlace and all of the data collected is stored in the client dashboard.
The user can sign up using Facebook or using their email address. The portal is minimal, light weight and fast while still providing a good user experience.
