Introduction

This document provides a comprehensive guide on configuring various authentication methods for EAPs (Ethernet Access Points) using the TP-Link Omada Controller. It covers detailed steps for setting up different portal authentication types, enabling free authentication policies, and managing network access for clients.

Portal Authentication Methods

• No Authentication: Allows direct access without any credentials.
• Simple Password: Requires a pre-set password for network access.
• Local User: Enables creation of individual user accounts with usernames and passwords.
• Voucher: Facilitates the distribution of unique voucher codes for temporary access.
• SMS: Utilizes mobile phone verification codes sent via SMS for authentication.
• Facebook: Redirects users to a Facebook page for authentication.
• External RADIUS Server: Integrates with an external RADIUS server for authentication.
• External Portal Server: Allows for custom authentication solutions via an external portal.
