Walled Garden Entries
For every other scenario except social media authentication, when using captive portal, all internet access is blocked until the user completes the captive portal authentication and registration. For using social media authentication, internet access is required to complete the authentication. For example, when using Facebook authentication, the user needs access to Facebook servers to validate Facebook credentials.

For social media authentication, you must add domain name system (DNS) and internet protocol (IP) subnets to the walled garden.

Note
Only add walled garden entries relevant to the social media authentication mechanisms being used.
Go to Walled Garden.
To add walled garden entries, select .
To add Facebook entries, select .

Note

To add fully qualified domain name entries, select Insert All.

Note
