Login a user to HotSpot with MikroTik commands

Hi,

Can we login a user to HotSpot with MikroTik commands instead of using “login.html” or redirection solutions?

Imagine I have a user with the following username and password: (User1 / 123456)
How can I login the user without redirect him/her to the login.html page?

Is there any command (via MikroTik console) available?

Thank you in Advance.

You can walledgarden him by MAC or IP

Thank you for the reply czolo.

But I have a Radius Server for my HotSpot and I want to use username/password of the user for login him/her into the system.
Is there any command that I can add the user in the “Active Users” or other commands to login them?

Thank you in Advance.

No, you can;t add a username into active. This action is dynamicly, and only way for that is to manually bind a specific mac to ip and than walledgarden it.

Thanks again.

Could you please provide me an example?
I can’t really understand the way you said.

Thank you in Advance.

OK. I can try
If user connects to your hotspot, it creates a row int “/ip hotspot host”.
User have to login first time, and after that it will create a row in “/ip hotspot active”. There you can check username IP.
Now you can bind that user with specific MAC, and choose “bypassed” for a type of authorization.
On the end you will have a MAC (not a username) in ip-bindings, that will allow to connect that device to hotspot without login process.

I know that you want to do that with username, but try to thing: how you can know that a user want to use a specific username without login form? Answer is: You just can’t. But you can do that if you know that user, and a user can be defined by it;s MAC addres or static ip (so MAC anotherway).
