Captive Portal

Securus NET utilises a ‘Captive Portal’ to identify domain users when a device is used. The Captive Portal will automatically load when a browser is opened on first login. The session will timeout and ask for re-authentication after 55 minutes and 3 minutes of inactivity. These values are customisable and can be changed upon request.

To ensure the Captive Portal is used, select option 1 when prompted for an authentication method during the Securus NET server installation. Our certificate must be installed on the device before the Captive Portal will work correctly.

Acceptable Use Policy

When first accessed, the Captive Portal will display an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The AUP can be edited by a member of the support team at anytime. If you would like to change contents of the AUP, please email the support team with your request content.

The user must accept the AUP before being able to continue to the login page.

Login Page

With LDAP Authentication selected during installation, logins are handled by using the schools' domain credentials, the same that would be used to log into a domain attached Windows machine.

Simply type the username (a domain name prefix is not necessary) and password, then click Login.

A lesson time length can also be selected using the drop down menu. These values can be customised as well.

The page will be redirected back to the original page or to default homepage upon successful login.
