I’ve inherited a community for an organization that has grown rather a lot by acquisition.
So now I’ve obtained this wild mixture of WiFi throughout about 40 areas.
Xirrus, Ruckus, Aironet, and a contact or Aruba. I even discovered a Ubiquiti nobody knew about at the back of a rack the opposite day. Wherever from 2-10 years previous, the majoring is 801.11ac Wave 2, so efficiency is nice sufficient. So even when we needed to standardise, the enterprise case simply isn’t there, and it might most likely take 2 years to get round. Australia is a giant place, and I’m however one man.
I’ve been working via elimination of low hanging fruit, standardising SSID naming, eliminating PSK’s and transferring to RADIUS with EAP-TLS, InTune pushing SCEP and Profiles. The non-homogeneous life isn’t too dangerous.
However Visitor/Sponsored Wifi is a shambles. Every vendor has their very own resolution, and I can’t actually appear to discover a good apply for the best way to do it in a vendor agnostic manner. So what we have now is a hodge-podge of guides for our varied receptionists on the best way to create vouchers, or self enrol or a loopy weekly password on an intranet someplace that’s rotated by some previous VBA script nobody remembers implementing. The method for every location appears to be extra about good luck than planning. Some workplace don’t even realize it’s an possibility, others the information has been handed down from technology to technology however by no means written down.
My primary necessities are:
-
Guests are often visiting contractors or presenters, so we all know them. So we may both generate entry on demand and hand to them, or have them self register.
-
We’d prefer to have to simply accept a Utilization coverage. Authorized have demanded this, and supplied the boilerplate, so it’s probably not one thing I’m eager on pushing again on
-
It’s Web entry solely.
-
I’d prefer it to be encrypted on the air, quite than Open.
I really feel prefer it needs to be simpler than it’s, however each resolution appears proprietary to the Vendor.
Is there some resolution on the market the place I can ship Customers and/or Guests to a portal, chuck in some particulars, settle for an AUP, and have it spit out a time restricted Consumer/password combo which they’ll return and use to affix?
I really feel like I’m simply failing at Google fu.
