How to set up a captive portal with Ruckus/ZoneDirector

Follow these steps to get set up:

Preparation

You will need:

  • Access to the Ruckus/ZoneDirector controller

Radius user used by Splash page needs to be set up as localDB user (On ZD you cannot create a user, you will need to select, a local database under the HotSpot Services Options)

(HotSpot Services) This is where you will configure the HotSpot settings (Set the Authentication/Accounting Servers, and add the Fydelia link to the Wall Garden, smart client support set to none) for the WLAN to use.

2. Make sure to enable Wireless client isolation:

And then select Fydelia under HotSpot Services

These options are not available on this model of ZoneDirector, but Fydelia will work without them.

  • MAC address should be encrypted (N/A)
  • user IP should be encrypted (N/A)
  • HTTPS  redirect enabled (Have to specify in URL)
  • user session 1440 (Default)
