Remotely authorizing guest through the API
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Greetings!
I have an external portal that will authorize guests through the API. I have followed the instructions here(https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/3231/) but still unsuccessful.
I can login successfully with the return message below:
{errorCode: 0, msg: 'Hotspot log in successfully.', result: {…}}
But I got an {"errorCode":-41501,"msg":"Failed to authenticate."} when calling the authorize function.
I tried two methods for the authorize url:
1. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://" . $CONTROLLER . ":" . $PORT . "/" . $CONTROLLER_ID . "/api/v2/hotspot/extPortal/auth");
and with the token
2. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://" . $CONTROLLER . ":" . $PORT . "/" . $CONTROLLER_ID . "/api/v2/hotspot/extPortal/auth?token=".$csrfToken);
These are the $authinfo:
- apMac: "B4-B0-24-82-77-12"
- authType: 4
- clientMac: "82-CA-23-E5-FC-82"
- radioId: 0
- ssidName: "Test-Omada"
- time: 120000
Is there anything I missed? Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.
Thanks for responding. I am using the software Controller Version: 5.1.7. This is installed on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS server.
I have another server running NGINX, and PHP, that serves as an external portal for guests. Ultimate goal is for guests to login to this portal, get their mac address and send an authorization post to the OMADA controller on the previous server above. As of now, I just created an omada_test.php file which contains the functions posted in this tutorial (https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/3231/). Below is the screenshot of the error. As you can see loggin in to the controller via API was successful. But failed in the authentication call.
Dear @drawpaint ,
It is suggestion to try it again by following V5 API, please refer to this link to get it:
