FAQ
1. How to deauthorize wifi user to bring user back to the login page after login?
During testing, you may want to try different login methods.
But after user authorized in any login method, captive portal will not be shown again before the expiry of session time.
If you may want to bring the user back to the captive portal page for testing different login methods, you will need to unauthorize the WiFi user.
WiFi User Logout trigger by: | WiFi User's Device (usually, access a logout url on browser) | Controller Web Admin Interface |
| Not Available Last Testing: 11-9-2017 | Not Available in HiveManager Last Testing: 11-9-2017 |
