Creating user-ip mappings from the command line.

Is it possible to authenticate machines to Captive portal from the command line? We have several linux machines who don't have access to the web browse only command line. Can these be authenticated through curl or any other command line tool?

Hi @Diegogarcia1 ,

Have you tried Lynx, the terminal-based web-browser? The user can open the page in Lynx, and it will render the HTML in text. It should be redirected to the captive portal like a regular browser. The user can navigate the rendered page and input their credentials.

Thanks,

Tom
