The default splash page:
Configuring a Meraki Controller for WPA-Enterprise
Accounting servers are disabled by default when using splash pages for Meraki devices. This means that Nexudus does not receive regular updates when users are in the space. Use WPA-Enterprise authentication to support RADIUS accounting. You can also contact Meraki support to enable this feature when using splash pages.
Users need to type their email and pin-code to connect to your WiFi network when using this authentication method. Otherwise, they cannot gain network access.
Sign-in to the Meraki cloud portal and go to Wireless > Configure > SSIDs and define a network that you should configure to use the Captive Portal with RADIUS authentication.
In the Association requirements section, select WPA2-Enterprise with and then select my RADIUS server from the drop-down list.
In the Splash page section, select None (direct access).
Add new RADIUS authentication servers by clicking Add a server and enter the following:
IP address in the Host section.
Your RADIUS ports in the Port section.
In the Secret section, the shared Secret from the details of the RADIUS server that you received when you created the server.
