Hive Manager CWP Self Registration User Data

[barrymcnicholl]

Hi. I have a use case where I need to report on the information entered by users on a self registration CWP. Is this possible?

If you're trying to implement MAC auth (where the user doesn't enter a password but their devices MAC address is automatically submitted as the username and password), that does require a Radius server. However we can build the Radius server on the AP itself so you don't have to set it up on your backend network, this guide reviews the set up for that: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/MAC-Authentication-Set-Up

Is that what you were try to do?

Great, thanks. It seems as though it wants me to turn up a radius server? That is something I want to avoid.

You are correct, I was describing HiveManager instead of HiveManager Classic, sorry for the mix up. For HiveManager Classic if you go in to Monitor> Clients> Wireless Clients, you should be able to see the user name they logged in with and the MAC address of the device they are using. For example, from my lab:

And you'll see the user information under Configuration> Expand the left hand side menu> Advanced Configuration> Authentication> Local Users.

@Sam Pirok​  Maybe I have a different version of Hivemanager? I do not see Monitor>Users. I have clients, but the data does not include what is being captured so in effect it is meaningless. All I want is to have a user connect to an SSID (let's call it simple) and capture a few key data points with their entry. When they connect to Simple, they hit the CWP and enter, first, last and email. I then want to cross reference their email or other field to find their MAC.

Just to bring this thread up to date, we still don't collect information on Social Login CWP options (facebook, linked in, google), but we can see general self registration information in the buffered log. You can also see this in the user record that is created in the HiveManager, under Configure> Users> Users (left hand side menu).

@John Fox​ , to address your use case, you will be able to see what MAC addresses use what credentials to sign in to the network, under Monitor> Users. If I misunderstand what your goals are, my apologies, please let me know and I will do my best to help you.
