Social WiFi captive portal

Captive portal authentication grants remote users access to certain portions of the network using delegated authentication. Users are required to associate their device with the guest SSID as published by the FortiGate wireless controller.

Social WiFi authentication allows FortiAuthenticator to utilize third-party user identity methods (social sites, valid e-mail address, or phone number) to authenticate users into a wireless guest network. The goal is to provide some traceability of users without requiring the heavy overhead of creating guest accounts.

This section documents the various social WiFi authentication methods, including Facebook, Form-based, Google +, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
