Hi,

thanks for taking the time to read.

When this person that registered will leave the shop and come back 3 days
later, I want it to bypass the captive portal. This is why I will activate
MAC authentication on the access point.
I just need a way to tell the access point : if mac adress of MAC auth is
in SQL database, then authenticate (bypass captive portal)

Thank you,
