Guest Hotspot - Is there anyway to capture or enforce a username ?

Hello SimonGoode ,

Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.

This would not be possible for any Hotspot type (Password of the day, Terms of use Acceptance and Voucher) since these options have no authentication,

You may try to use Guest Users under Authentication > Guest Users: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/20.0/help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Authentication/GuestUsers/index.html

A username and password would be auto generated/ you could create a single or multiple account in one configuration:

Then you can view and print the credentials, the authentication here would be essential for you to capture the username and review their usage (Assuming this is the purpose/reason why you want to capture the username)

Then, they can sign in and out at https://<IP address of Sophos Firewall>:8090

Then once they sign in you can capture username, review usage under Current Activities > Live users:

Hope this helps with your requirement.

Many thanks for your time and patience and thank you for choosing Sophos.

Cheers,

Thanks, that's a bit of a faff, especially if we have multiple guests who needed access - and equally we don't always control who needs access to wifi. I was hoping there was a simple page that would simply log the MAC address to a name, so that we can track any activity that seems unusual down to a particular user or app.. 

thanks anyway 

I also think, SMS for the HotSpot would be useful.
It is available for guest user registration.
Possible you can try to use this for traceable registration...
