Controller.
Screen 8 Authentication Configuration
The Authentication Configuration has six radio button options: RADIUS Server,
Local Authentication, Hampton Inn HSIA Authentication, Terms of Service,
No Authentication and PMS Based Authentication. By default,
Local
Authentication
is enabled.
Note:
Authenticated subscribers can logout of the session by typing
http://1.1.1.1
in the
web browser.
RADIUS Server
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication and
accounting service used by many service providers to track and control subscriber
access. The Controller includes a RADIUS Client that can be configured to make
RADIUS requests when subscribers authenticate. RADIUS Authentication requires a
RADIUS Server in the back office in addition to the RADIUS Client.
