Using Facebook Page to Log In a Client to Wi-Fi

As a store owner, I want my customers to be authenticated with social media such as Facebook. I also
want to use Facebook to host a Wi-Fi portal page based on my campus or site civic address, and to use
the Facebook page to promote advertisements, coupons, branding logos, and so on. I then want to
access from Facebook a demographic analysis report for customers who log in to my Wi-Fi network.

You can use the Cisco CMX Connect & Engage service to authenticate guests with Facebook and allow guests to check in or
skip.

You can also generate demographic reports on Facebook to gain insight into your customers.

Step 1

Use the Facebook developers’ page to create Facebook Wi-Fi portal pages for different locations or addresses.

Step 2

Step 3

Choose Connect & Engage > Connect Experiences.

Step 4

Assign the Facebook pages to the appropriate location. For details, see the “Assigning a Location-Specific Facebook
Page” section in the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide.

Step 5

Select Bypass Mode and define the session length and terms. For details, see the “Assigning a System Default Facebook
Page” section in the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide.

Step 6

Go to Facebook to access the demographic analysis report.

Using SMS to Authenticate Clients for Wi-Fi Access on Multiple

Devices

As a store owner, I want customers to provide their phone numbers to identify themselves to access
free Wi-Fi. I want to authenticate customers with a simple message through the phone. I want to
provide this service globally. Also, once authenticated, my customers should be able to access Wi-Fi
on devices other than their mobile phone.

Cisco CMX allows you to add SMS-based authentication to a custom portal to provide proof of identity of your customers
through their phone numbers and enable them to use any device with Wi-Fi, after authentication.

Step 1

Step 2

Choose Connect & Engage > Connect Experiences.

Step 3

Create a portal based on the predefined SMS Form templates, or copy a portal from portal library and then modify it.
When creating the portal, enable SMS authentication, create a Twilio account, and configure the SMS code expiration
period.

For details, see the “Enabling SMS-based Authentication in the Custom Portal Page” section in the Cisco Connected
Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide.
