Userman user page only available to hotspot users on bypass

RouterOS The User Manager
1

I’m running 2.9.42 and have successfully installed and configured userman including signup. However I can’t get the user page to display:
http://10.5.50.1/user
unless the hotspot IP is set to bypassed. If it is bypassed I get the login including signup, but if the IP is not bypassed the I get a 404 page can’t be displayed. Is there something in the firewall settings that were set in original hotspot installation a long time ago that prevents hotspot clients from accessing anything other than the hotspot login unless logged in or bypassed? I’ve read the wiki and all the posts on userman here and just can’t figure this out.

User manager access over ehternet not possible

From what i’ve read on the forums,you need to change the ip services port number for www to something else other than port 80,then use routerip:xxxx/user to access the page.It’s worked for some and not for others(including myself),still trying
tofigure this baby out,have you had luck with it yet?seen its been 3 years… :smiley:

use that

/ip firewall nat
add action=redirect chain=hs-auth comment=\
    "Allow HotSpot User to access UserManager" disabled=no dst-address=\
    192.168.5.254 dst-port=81 protocol=tcp to-ports=80

Note : replace 192.168.5.254 << with your hotspot interface address
then access the usermanager within the hotspot by using http://HotSpotInterfaceAdd:81/userman

or their method of changing the service port http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/user-manager-hotspot-error-404-not-found/12367/1

You can use another interface [public] to access User Manager from local network.

Hello,tested the nat rule-didnt work either.Found the sollution though for anyone who would like to know too.It was possible to access the user sign up page remotely but the non authenticated hotspot users were never able to access the signup page.First of all change the default www port number under /ip services to something other than port 80 (eg:81).Then
go to /ip hotspot walled garden ip list, and add a dst. port of 81 and select accept.I tried adding the routers ip address under
walled garden but that didnt work,only way is to allow the port number under walled garden ip list,hope it saves you hours of sleepless nights :smiley:

As I said don’t use IP address of the HotSpot interface, use another interface.

Just tested, Router configuration
1.1.1.1 Public IP address of the router.
192.168.100.1 HotSpot Local IP address, where HotSpot is configured.

1.1.1.1/userman is working !, without changing port for www service.
192.168.100.1/userman page not found


P.S. Of course you need walled-garden or walled-garden ip, if you are not logged in HotSpot.
