Create a hotspot
Create a secured hotspot to generate a wireless node that provides internet and VPN access.
Ensure that you have an existing SSID that can be turned into a hotspot.
You need to set up authentication with Google and Facebook if you want to allow your users to use their social media accounts to authenticate themselves. You need to set this up in the Advanced Settings for the SSID.
You can create a hotspot with or without a voucher.
The hotspot is available after a few seconds.
Troubleshooting
The backend authentication fails:
- Check your server logs for anomalies.
HTTPS traffic is not redirected:
- HTTPS redirect for hotspot sign-in is not supported.
LED on the access point is amber:
- There is no connection from the access point to Sophos Central. Try to reconnect.
Note Passwords and vouchers will not expire.
