Hi Guys, I am new to Fortigate and new to this forum. I have a Fortigate 60e firewall setup and working. I have UniFi Access Points connected to the wired interface. This allows me to set up a "Captive Portal" for a specific VLAN (for guest access). This works great but only askes people to accept the T&Cs when the join the SSID. I want to harvest emails by having the users provide the email when they join the SSID. I see this feature is available if using Forit APs, but that option doesn't appear in my case. Before I build an email harvesting captive portal, does anyone know a way round this or if it is planned to be developed in future releases of FortiOS and if so when. I saw similar posts but no actual solution offered.

Thanks

Hi,

Fortiauthenticator is recommended for this purpose. You cannot send email just by fortigate. You should use both of them.

Thanks for the reply; however, I am not trying to send emails, just have guests provide their email in order to gain access to internet. This feature is available for the Captive Portal with FortiAPs but does not appear for a wired connection. This is all described here https://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/54/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-authentication-54/CaptivePortals.htm

Thanks

Now i understood your question. Unfortunately this email collection feature cannot be used for wired connection.

Thanks, really interesting.
I tried to replace the content on the Login Page, but fortinet presents the Disclaimer Page to the user and then the user can browse, what can I do?

thanks, it would be great if it worked
