OTP-based Captive portal

The OTP-based captive portal is a captive portal that can enable an Internet service based on OTP (one-time password) SMS.

For this instance, first of all, you need to create OTP profile configurations, which will decide the length of your OTP password and the validity duration of the password.


Step 1.


Create the Ray Account and set up your first AP. Please follow the steps here, First-time setup of Ray


Step 2.


Login to Cloud Controller using your username & password on https://cloud.ray.life/


Step 3. Go to Captive portals menu --> OTP config. 


Click on "Create OTP config".




Step 4. SMS Config


After creating an OTP message profile, you need to configure SMS gateway configurations under the "SMS Gateway Config" tab.

Which will decide from which gateway OTP SMS will be generated.



Enter your SMS gateway information in the SMS configuration template as presented in the following snapshot.




The SMS gateway config settings in the Ray platform support HTTP and rest methods of interacting with SMS gateway provider API. as shown in the example below.


The user and password fields are generated from the API of your SMS gateway provider. in this example, SMS Global was the SMS gateway provider. 

Kindly contact us if you need an in-depth demo of this functionality and integration.

Step 5.  Create an OTP captive portal

 

Now create an OTP captive portal from Portals --> Create Portal.


Select an "OTP" as an authentication option.

Step 6. Create portal details


Enter the survey name, select the business category, and select the OTP config profile you have created for OTP format.
