Api-Server

The Public Spot supports the new Captive Portal API standard according to RFC 8908. The standard allows Wi-Fi clients in a hotspot to automatically find a captive portal or login page.

The client receives the URL of the portal page via DHCP and uses an API request to the hotspot to check whether a login is required or whether access is already permitted for the client. This significantly speeds up the user experience in a hotspot and, by defining a standard, now provides better manufacturer interoperability between hotspots and clients.

The following steps are required:
  1. The use of TLS certificates in the Public Spot is mandatory. Without an HTTPS login, the client does not send a request to the portal.
  2. The DHCP server must provide the Captive Portal DHCP option to the client.
