CP wit a password of the day
-
Hello,
has anyone from the community build a captive Portal authentication method with Password of the day ? I would like to implement a solution with a list of Password for next 90 or 120 days with individual Passwords for each day.
Has any had the same idea and found a good solution?
Thanks & Kind regards

Yes, I did something similar, customer wanted a quarterly password.
I simply created four users, q1, q2, q3 & q4
Then on the portal page, a little php to work out the quarter number, username field is then a hidden field.
It'll take you a while to add a user for each day though!

Just to expand on the answer a little more, now that I'm on my laptop and not my phone -
$user_array = array ( 1 => 'q1', 2 => 'q2', 3 => 'q3', 4 => 'q4' ); function CurrentQuarter(){ $n = date('n'); if($n < 4){ return "1"; } elseif($n > 3 && $n <7){ return "2"; } elseif($n >6 && $n < 10){ return "3"; } elseif($n >9){ return "4"; } } $current_user = $user_array[CurrentQuarter()];
Then as the "User" field, I did -

We've done something similar using RADIUS and a custom CP page.
- cron creates a username and password
- cron emails that username and password to a distribution list (could also use digital signage)
- cron deletes the previous days password
