Pass hotspot creds to web filter

Greg Dickinson
Not really sure if this goes here, or in the wireless section.  Anyway...

I'm trying to set up an employee hotspot using back-end authentication to our AD.  I was wondering if there's an easy way to pass those credentials to the web filter for user tracking purposes.  The purpose of the hotspot is for employee BYOD for lunch, breaks, etc.  I still want to track and filter their access across our internet connection if possible.

I set up a new web filtering profile that applied just to the hotspot network and used web browser auth, and right now I'm getting prompted twice to log in, once for the hotspot network and once for internet access.

    You can't really pass the credentials from one subsystem to another in the UTM.  What you can do is use AD SSO with the Web proxy.  This would eliminate one of the prompts.

    Hi, Greg, and welcome to the User BB!

    You might be interested in a document I maintain, "Configure HTTP Proxy for a Network of Guests."  If you would like me to send you this, click on my name beside the Cyrano avatar and send me an email requesting it.

    Cheers - Bob

    AD SSO might be an option, but for the most part the devices that will connect to this network won't be in Active Directory.  Since the hotspot network will be isolated from any production networks I may just make it unencrypted.

    Bob, I'll definitely hit you up for that document.  Look for an email shortly [:)]  Thanks everyone.
