Static HTML/JS/CSS Site for a Click-through Splash Page
Cisco Meraki provides cloud managed WiFi with the ability to host your own "Splash Page", which is a captive portal service for authenticating users to join the network. This concept is called an External Captive Portal (ExCaP).
This demo splash page includes the required script to comply with the policy.

Meraki provides two splash page modes, click-through and sign-on. This application will use the click-through method.
Just host these files in the public directory on any web server such as Apache or Firebase Hosting, configure your Meraki SSID to use your server and that's it!
You can use this URL to test your application without an access point
http://localhost:5000/?base_grant_url=https%3A%2F%2Fn143.network-auth.com%2Fsplash%2Fgrant&user_continue_url=http%3A%2F%2Fspeedof.me%2F&node_id=149624922840090&node_mac=88:15:44:60:1c:1a&gateway_id=149624922840090&client_ip=10.255.60.208&client_mac=f4:5c:89:9b:17:67
- Host these files on a webserver
- Update the
/public/index.htmlfile script with the wifi4eu details
<script type="text/javascript">
var wifi4euTimerStart = Date.now();
var wifi4euNetworkIdentifier = "NETWORK_IDENTIFIER"; // UPDATE WITH REAL VALUE
var wifi4euLanguage = "PORTAL_LANGUAGE"; // UPDATE WITH REAL VALUE
</script>
