Creating the My Captive Portal page

This section includes details about creating the My Captive Portal page. The creation of this page is a prerequisite for the Adding a My Captive Portal SSID to a network procedure.

A user connects to the Wi-Fi network and is redirected to https://<my_captive_portal_url>?grant_url=fortilancloud_grant_url.

The user lands on the captive portal, who is then redirected by the captive portal to the <FortiLANCloud_grant_url>.

• The full URL of <FortiLANCloud_grant_url> can be https://xxxx.fortilan.forticloud.com/APAuthentication/submit?type=external
