If you set an Open SSID to use a User Auth CWP, we have two options. We can set it to authenticate via Radius server, and you can set a Radius server up on an AP and host the CWP on the AP, so no external set up needed. Or we can redirect to an external URL for authentication. I want to state again though that we don't typically recommend Radius for guest access, as they have to be known users before they can sign in, which isn't really a guest user so much as a known internal user.

Sorry. That's not what we need.

We need User-Authentication on a captive portal. It's no problem to install a linux based freeradius server for creating users.

Is the captive portal webpage available on the HiveManager or do I have to install, configure a webserver with the captive webpage by myself?

The most common Guest SSID is an Open or PSK SSID with a Guest-Internet-Access-Only IP firewall policy so that they can't access internal resources but can get to the internet. Some also add a User Policy Acceptable CWP as well if they have a message for guest users or want them to agree to use terms and conditions.

This guide will walk you through how to set up the PSK SSID- https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/PSK-SSID-How-To

To enable the firewall policy you would want to open the User Profile assigned to the SSID or make a new one> Under the Firewall Section select the existing IP Firewall Object named Guest Internet Access Only and save.
