HI,
can anyone help me with setting up of hotspot wherein the username and password comes via SMS. I guess you must have all been to airport and all and if you have to use the wireless service you just give money via credit card or any other online banking service and the username and password comes via SMS … just wondering how can we setup a scenario like this.
Just direct the internal hotspot scripts to your own server, take the registraion details and add to your radius database. use a 3rd party API on your server to send the SMS to the user , whilst redirecting the user back to the login page.
We do this for customer who wish to gather phone numbers for their hotspot users but i beleive its also a legal requirement in Italy.
We have hotspot setup which uses freeradius, mysql and Mikrotik as hotspot. The user gets 30mins free access upon registration and afterwards he will have to buy recharge coupon in order to use more. It includes PHP. Registration page asks for users phone number and user gets passwords via sms and his phone number is username for the hotspot access. I would be happy to help if someone is looking for something like this.
