FortiAP

If you manage your FortiAP from the cloud, you can easily configure Social WiFi on the controller.

RADIUS Server

First, go to Wireless->Configuration->My RADIUS Server->Add RADIUS server. Add two servers as follows:

The login "pattern" for Test Connectivity is: test_RADIUS,

where RADIUS is the Radius Secret available in Access Points tab of the Social WiFi Panel.

For password use the same credential.

For example, if my Radius Secret is "myradiussecret", my login would be "test_myradiussecret".
