Frontend for creating users

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Hello!

I have to create a public wifi, where I will be able to keep track of when someone access internet through my wifi (organization’s demands).

So here is how I’m thinking of doing it:

  • collect personal ID from client
  • enter name and surname of client in a html frontend page
  • send that data to user manager, create a new user
  • user manager returns username and password for hotspot
  • I print the voucher with 2h limit
  • client logs on the network
  • it would be ideal if the system could also log user MAC as well…

Is that doable?
How hard is it?
Any examples online?
What search terms should I look at?

Simply use user-manager…

I myself would use it, but I want to make a “idiot proof” system that will be used by the employees, which are affraid of every new thing and god forbid that there is one form that doesn’t need to be filled:)

I want to make is as simple as possible for them to use:

  • Enter data
  • Click Send
  • Wait for refreshed page with username / password
  • Print voucher

Actually, I could probably merge step 3 and 4 together:)

I NOT USE API, do not ask me for support, use the forum.

You can write your own php page, and with API do all you want…

Don’t worry, I wont ask you:)

I will take a look at the API and try to do something useful:)

Is it possible to host the web page on the Mikrotik router?

If you’re not stuck with User Manager and are OK with hosting on external server, Access Manager(http://accessmanager.in) may fit your requirement.
