How to test the Anonymous Authentication Method

This article operates under the assumption that a captive portal is already set-up, and the Anonymous authentication method is selected. If this step has not already been completed, please refer to this article for assistance.

Authentication Methods

Once you have completed setup of your captive portal, you can test it following these steps. 

1. Open your splash page via the captive portal page. Scroll down to the Portal Settings header, and under the sub header Splash Page URL, click the link. 
2. On this page, Click the check box for Agree with Terms of Service.
3. Click Register. You will then be shown a success page stating "You are online."
4. Back in the IronWiFi console, on the left page navigate to users -> Guests.
5. You should see a new user created, with the FULLNAME and EMAIL columns being empty. Note, in the picture above, that users who authenticated with the guest self registration method have FULLNAME and EMAIL columns populated with information. 
6. If the method is not working, please contact IronWiFi technical support.
