I'm using the extPortal Hotspot API to authorize a client access to the WiFi, I provide an expiry time to the session via the time parameter, but this is ignored and the client gets some default value (11 days).

 

URL: `https://x.x.x.x/<id>/api/v2/hotspot/extPortal/auth`

Body: 

```

{
    "clientMac": "AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA",
    "apMac": "AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA",
    "ssidName": "Example WiFi",
    "radioId": "1",
    "site": "<id>",
    "time": 1751917511000000,
    "authType": 4
}

```

 

This should have created a session expiring UTC Monday, July 7, 2025 7:45:11 PM

But in the Omada UI I see the session expires Jul 28, 57541 08:43:32 pm

Hi  @_Ian_ 

 

The unit of time is milliseconds. I second equals 1000 milliseconds.

The value you set is too big.

 

Please adjust the time settings and test again.

 

BTW, below is a guide for your reference:
