3.84. <AuthBy FIDELIOHOTSPOT>

This extension of <AuthBy FIDELIO> provides an easy way to integrate WiFi hotspots and captive portals with Opera hotel Property Management System from Micros Fidelio Opens in new window.
It uses an SQL database to keep track of prepaid access time blocks for Opera guests. It authenticates new sessions with the guest's room number and guest number (as with <AuthBy FIDELIO>), creates new prepaid blocks (and posts the charge to Opera), and keeps track of the remaining time left in each prepaid block. Time-limited prepaid plans are also supported.
<AuthBy FIDELIOHOTSPOT> understands also the same parameters as <AuthBy SQL> and <AuthBy FIDELIO>. For more information, see Section 3.41. <AuthBy SQL> and Section 3.82. <AuthBy FIDELIO>. <AuthBy FIDELIOHOTSPOT> supports also all the common SQL configuration parameters. For more information about the SQL configuration parameters, see Section 3.8. SQL configuration.
For a configuration sample, see a configuration sample file goodies/fidelio-hotspot.cfg

3.84.1. BlockDuration

Specifies a number of seconds a prepaid block of time will last for, from the time it is first purchased. Defaults to 86400 (1 day).

<option value="Mikrotik-Service=premium">premium ($5)</option>
</select></td></tr>
name="radius0-9048" is OSC-AVPAIR, this is listed in Radiator dictionary. Use the following parameter setting in Radiator configuration file:
ServiceAttribute OSC-AVPAIR

3.84.4. ServiceAttributePrefix

This optional string specifies the prefix in ServiceAttribute. For more information, see Section 3.84.3. ServiceAttribute. Use this parameter if there is a possibility to have several ServiceAttribute instances and they must be separated to be able to choose the correct one. Here is an example about using ServiceAttributePrefix:
ServiceAttributePrefix Mikrotik-Service=

3.84.5. ConfirmUpgradeOrRenew

This flag defines if the system asks a confirmation for an upgrade or renewal charge. This is disabled by default, and the upgrade or renewal of the current payment plan is processed automatically.

3.84.6. ConfirmationMessage

This string specifies the message that is shown to the guest when asking a confirmation for upgrade or renewal recharge. To show the message, include the following example into Mikrotik login page:
$(if error)<br /><div style="color: #FF8080; font-size: 14px">$(error)</div><br>$(endif)
Then add the ConfirmationMessage to your Radiator configuration:
ConfirmationMessage "You are going to upgrade or renew your plan, please login again 
      to confirm the charge"

3.84.7. ConfirmationQuery

This string is an optional parameter. It defines the exact form of the query that is used to add the upgrade or renewal confirmation record to the database.

ConfirmationQuery UPDATE sessions SET confirmation_requested=1 WHERE roomNumber=? 
      AND guestNumber=? AND macAddress=?
ConfirmationQueryParam %0
ConfirmationQueryParam %1
ConfirmationQueryParam %2
The same query without the SQL bind variables looks this:
ConfirmationQuery UPDATE sessions SET confirmation_requested=1 WHERE roomNumber=%0
