Guest WiFi - is there any way to secure it?

I wonder is there is a better way to expose Guest wifi. Currently we use self registration with registration period of 2 hours and scheduled to turn off that SSID at night. I know there is a way to do it with social login, but this is not the best option.

 

Is there a way for guest to somehow request a temporary key instead which is revoked after 2 hours for example?

If you're using PPSK, you can choose how the credentials are delivered (email or text message). You can set up a PPSK user group without using Self Registration so that the credentials are given out and only last a certain time period after the first log in. After that, you can have the credentials expire and delete themselves, or you can set up an option for renewal on the customers side if you'd like. Does that sound like what you're looking for?

Thank you Sam,

 

"If you're using PPSK, you can choose how the credentials are delivered (email or text message)"

 

Ok lets imagine I use PPSK with self registration CWP and there is a place to provide email address. And based on that the key is sent to the person requesting to have access to Guest - correct. I don't fully understand "how the credentials are delivered".

 

It would be nice if those credentials are delivered automatically by Aerohive Classic.

I have found this

 

https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Self-Registration-PPSK-SSID-in-Hivemanager

 

but:

 

 

  •   WiFi-End-Users register via this CWP, and then receive Credentials for the PPSK-SSID.

 

Receiving credentials by email?
