Change redirection URL

Thu, 05/03/2007 - 17:39 — wmooremn

I have just installed CoovaAP firmware on a Linksys WRT543 v3.0. After some tweaking I now have it working great as an internal hotspot. The only issue I have is that I do not know how to change the redirection url, I am not very familar with linux so the simplest explanation possible would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

David,

I tried your fix today and it worked quite well.

Thanks

Re: Change redirection URL

Part of what I want to do with Coova AAA is to provide an 'open' system for roaming between communities and organizations. For instance, students and faculty of a school/university may find it convenient to use the same username and password for captive portal and/or 802.1X (wpa enterprise) at home, campus, and office - even the cafe down the street who caters to the campus community.

Re: Change redirection URL

Will do, my consulting group deals with non-profits and independent schools exclusively.

As an MCSE, open source projects like this are a refreshing change to the types of applications and solutions I normally deal with!

Thanks again,

Then spread the word! Helping out non-profits gives me satisfaction...

Re: Change redirection URL

Thanks David,

I'll give it a try, this router based method certainly is a better solution then the ZoneCD setup I had previously configured.

Re: Change redirection URL

Then, yes, you are best off using the Internal HotSpot. Under the HotSpot / Portal tab of the admin interface, select the Login Success page to edit. Replace the page with something like the following:

<br />
window.location='http://coova.org/';</p>
<p>

Not the prettiest solution, but I think it will for you.

By default, when in internal hotspot mode, local users are supported, but so is RADIUS. In fact, you can use CoovaAAA with local users (where you still get to see the usage) or other Coova members -- assuming your signup and configure the settings in HotSpot / RADIUS appropriately.

Re: Change redirection URL

Thanks David,

I may not have been clear about what I wanted to do, what I want to change is the page that the user is redirected to after successfully logging in, I want to redirect them to a url that I have chosen for them.

Also I was unclear as to what the differences were between the internal hosted and the Chillispot uam, I was unable to find documentation that outlined this clearly. It appears that using the Chillispot uam involves authenticating the users externally using a 3rd party RADIUS server? I want to keep this somewhat simple, this is for a small non-profit association's office with a limited number of guest users.

Thanks again,

Bill

Re: Change redirection URL

You want to change the initial redirect url? Then, you can change the hotspot mode to chillispot uam. That will give you more options as the internal hotspot assumes you want the internal captive portal.
