Login Pages Overview

Introduction

RADIUSdesk includes an applet called Login Pages that allows you to easily manage the login pages of captive portals.
We currently support CoovaChilli and Mikrotik-based captive portals.
We use Bootstrap 5 based login pages for the following reasons.
- Bootstrap is actively being developed (the current version is version 5) and has a beautiful look and feel.
- Bootstrap is familiar to many developers, so it should be easy for them to optimize and adapt a Bootstrap-based login page to their environment if needed.

Each login page will have the following three items
- Top Toolbar
- Image(s)
- Login Screen
Let us explain these elements in more detail under a separate heading.

The content and appearance of the top toolbar depends on the settings on the login page.
The Top Toolbar can contain the following
- A Connect link that displays the login screen.
- A title for the page. This element is configurable.
- Login pages that are configured to support multiple languages contain a menu item for selecting a different language.

At least one image is displayed on the login page.
Both the image and the display of the image can be configured when you edit the login page.

The login screen is a pop-up window whose content and behavior depends on the settings of the login page and is described in detail on a separate wiki page.
