Google- Guest Portal authentication using Social Media

Summary:

In this article, we will look at the steps involved in setting up Guest Portal authentication with Social Media Login, in this case via Google.

Network Environment:

SmartZone/Virtual SmartZone [Essentials/High-Scale] (Controller), version 6.1.1.0.x.
R350 (Access Point)

Setup Procedure:

In the vSZ/SZ GUI, navigate to ‘Network -> Wireless LANs’ and select ‘Create'.

Name the WLAN, in my setup I named it as ‘SOCIAL_LOGIN’, Authentication Type as "Guest Access" and Method as "Open"

Encryption Options is selected as 'Open' (but it can change based on requirement).

Under Guest Access Portal, select 'Social Media Login'
In 'Social Media Profile' click '+'icon to create the profile

Name the social media profile and in Social Auth Option turn 'ON' the toggle for Google and click the 'here' button

If you click on “here” you will be redirect to Google APIs section of your Google account, login, accept terms of service and click on “+ Create Project”

Enter Project Name and Location and click on Create.

Once the project has been created, go to the OAuth consent screen, and select External and click Create

Under App information, complete the following steps:

For App name, enter the application name.

For User support email, select an email address from the list.

For Developer contact information, enter valid email address and click SAVE AND CONTINUE.

In the Edit app registration > Scopes page, click SAVE AND CONTINUE.
In the Edit app registration > Test users page, click SAVE AND CONTINUE.
On the OAuth consent screen, click PUBLISH APP.

In the Push to production dialog box, click Confirm.

Under Publishing status, change the status to In production.

Go to the Credentials page and click CREATE CREDENTIALS and select OAuth client ID.

For Application type, select Web application and for Authorized redirect URIs, enter https://ap.ruckus.com:9998/googleHandler or http://ap.ruckus.com:9997/googleHandler

Click Create. If successful, Google displays the Client ID and Client Secret, as shown in the following figure.

The Google Client ID and Google Secret would be automatically filled once the above steps are performed

Then add these Whitelisted Domains:*.geotrust.com, *.google.com, *.gstatic.com
The next step is to create a 'Guest Portal Service' by clicking the '+' icon

Enter the 'Portal name' and 'Save' (It can be modified based on requirement).

For this example, all other settings including VLAN assignment for end-user devices are set to the default values.

Next click 'OK'.

This configuration will be good to go ahead with Social Media login With Google.
