External Captive Portal with TPLink OMADA

In order for the External Captive Portal feature to correctly work on the OC200, we have found that you will need to be running V1.2.3 (Controller version 3.2.12).   We have a TPLink community forum post tracking the issues with the newer Controller version 4.1.15 which, at the time of writing this article, was not functioning as documented.

Controllers are now usually far beyond that so it should not be an issue

External Captive Portal

To redirect guests to your Fydelia splash page follow these steps:

Create a new External Captive Portal entry

Create a new portal entry as follows, using your full Fydelia.com splash page URL:

Enter the splash URL under the Custom Portal Server area:

Access Control

In order for the redirect to function, you must allow the ondemand.fydelia.com domain in the walled garden setting:

Operator user

You need to create a new Operator user that Fydelia will use for Authentication

  • Select your site under the ORGANIZATION dropdown in the top right
  • Choose Hotspot Manager
  • Make sure “Global” is selected, and not an individual site
  • Add a new user with Operator role privilege. 
  • Assign the user to the appropriate site

Fydelia settings

In Password Locker, add the following entry details, using your operator username and password set above

The Controller ID is taken from your controller URL attribute called: omadacId

You’re all set!

You can now run your guest network using Fydelia’s powerful features.
