Learn easy and advanced methods for HotSpot integration with your website or application.
HotSpot login can be initiated from your website.

To make this integration, please check the code below:

<FORM method=”post” ACTION=”http://192.168.0.1/login” >
USERNAME<BR \>
<input name=”userlogin”><BR \>
PASSWORD<BR \>
<input name=”userpass” type=”password”><BR \>
<input value=”LOGIN” name=”Login” type=”submit” />
</FORM>

This code inserts two fields and a button in your website. It sends a username and a password to the HotSpot for user authentication.

If the login is successful, a welcome page will be displayed to the user.

To customize this code example for your HotSpot, please replace IP address 192.168.0.1 with the real HotSpot IP or hotspot URL (if you have domain tied to your IP).

You can also assign css styles to the fields and the button, edit words etc.
