Is it possible to use Wireless authentication by Facebook and others social on AP ?

@FabioTerrone - We're working on requirement finalization for Social Login integration for Sophos Central based Wireless. This will enable us for other social login property (Google+, Twitter etc. - based on OATH 2.0). 

The timeline for this is late Q4'18 - Q1'19. 

Once the feature requirements are finalized we would like to touch base with you and see if I walk you through the use cases and flow. It would be great to get your feedback.

Hi Shail,

Do you have some update about this feature, we are in a big project and this feature is required.

Best Regards.

Hi Heleno,

This is a part of our roadmap and can be expected by the mid of this year.

So you posponed this feature by another quarter.

No good.

Can we please get a roadmap update?  We're nearly a full year beyond the original release estimate.

Hi Joshua,

The feature is under testing and should be available by the end of the year. I will update you on the exact dates.

Hi Tejas, Sophos should know that this feature is mainly required by "tourism" vertical market.

Sophos should know that this market follows a seasonal path.

If this feature will be released in october, partners will have the time to test it and offer it to customers.

If it will be released in november, partners could offer it to customers hoping that it works as expected.

If it will be released in december, in most cases partners should offer a different product to customers that's upgrading their infrastructure before the winter season.

Hi Joshua,

The supporting firmware for the access points has already been staged in all regions. Users need to upgrade their access points to 2.2.0-19 image. The options to configure the same through UI should be available post the next Sophos Central release. The target date for this is December 7th. Post-December 7th, users should be able to configure social media authentication on Captive Portals.

Hi, those are good news, but one of the (biggest) question of the first post is still unanswered:

"Will be possible to manage by XG firewall (Or will be manageble only by cloud)?"

Your post rose another couple of questions, that's related to the previous one:

Will it be supported with Sophos AP only, or on any network connected to XG?

If it's available on XG too, how should we weight this to correctly estimate the XG sizing in an hotel?

thank you

Hi Alessio,

The current support is for access points managed through Sophos Central only. There is no support for social login through XG.
