Fortinet firewalls provide enterprise-grade security and network management, and when integrated with Spotipo's captive portal, you can add powerful guest WiFi capabilities including email capture, social login, and paid access options. This integration uses RADIUS authentication to manage guest access while maintaining your network's security policies.

Configure Radius Server

set acct-interim-interval 300

set radius-coa enable

config accounting-server

edit 1

set status enable

set server "34.140.222.95"

set port 1813

set secret <your_secret>

next

end

Firewall Config

set groups "Spotipo Guest Users"

set dynamic-shaping enable

set comments "RADIUS accounting and bandwidth shaping for authenticated users"

Your Fortinet Firewall Is Now Connected to Spotipo

Once your configuration is complete and guests can authenticate successfully, you can start capturing WiFi guest data, running marketing campaigns, or offering tiered bandwidth packages through your Fortinet network.

What to do next:

  • Customize your splash page design in Spotipo dashboard to match your branding

  • Set up email marketing integrations to automatically sync guest contacts

  • Configure bandwidth tiers to offer premium WiFi access packages

Common Fortinet setup issues:

  • Authentication failures: Verify the RADIUS secret matches exactly (case-sensitive)

  • Bandwidth shaping not working: Ensure dynamic-shaping is enabled in firewall config

  • Accounting not updating: Check that acct-interim-interval is set to 300 seconds
