Steps for a Click-To-Connect Login Page
Create the Click-to-Connect Profile
Weather you want to limit your click-to-connect users for one hour or one day or 1 GB of data, something you have to add to the Profile Component you choose is an attribute set that will reset the limitation with every device. Otherwise the first customer to connect will use up the allowed data and no one else will be allowed access.
RADIUSdesk installs with two ready-to-use Click to connect Profiles. Select the CTC-1Hour Profile for one hour free access and CTC-100M for 100MB free access.
If you build your own Profiles:
For a Profile Component that limits Time, the following attributes in red are important to include:

| Rd-Reset-Type-Time | Check | := | daily | For each device to have this limit daily |
| Rd-Cap-Type-Time | Check | := | hard | Options are hard or soft. Soft will not cut the user off if they are over the limit |

Whats in a name?
- You may wonder why we call the Click-to-Connect user click_to_connect@radiusdesk.
- The name can be broken up in two parts.
- The first part is everything before the @.
- The last part is everything after the @.
- The user's password has to be the same as the first part e.g. click_to_connect.
- The second part will be automatically added by the login pages when the user clicks the Click-to-connect button and is determined by a the configuration of the Dynamic login pages
