For set-up without RADIUS — requires a cloud API connection to the controller or an agent provided by Wiacom. Wiacom provisions credentials directly via the vendor API.For set-up with RADIUS — the RADIUS server handles per-user PSK lookup. API access to the controller is desired for initial configuration but is not required for ongoing credential management.
Why WiFi Pass?
Individual credentials
Every user gets their own passphrase — no sharing, no circulation
Instant revocation
Revoke a single user’s access without affecting anyone else
Credential expiry
Passphrases expire after a configurable period and are renewed on re-registration
Per-user audit trail
Every connection is tied to a known, consented registered user
How It Works
User registers
User registers through any configured onboarding channel (Guest Connect, portal, API, PMS, App, online resource).
Network details delivered
The SSID, unique passphrase, and connection QR code are generated and delivered to the user. The QR code allows one-tap connection on supported devices. These details can optionally be shown on-screen at registration time and sent through one of the enabled communication channels. See Messaging Services.
Provisioning Modes
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Instant | Connection details created on registration, shown on the thank-you page and delivered immediately |
| Confirmed | User clicks a confirmation link first; details delivered after verification |
RADIUS Variant
For deployments exceeding vendor unique PSK’s limits, Wiacom supports ** Unique PSK with RADIUS** mode. The SSID is configured with Wiacom RADIUS server details, and the RADIUS server performs per-user PSK lookup. Credential management remains entirely within Wiacom — the controller’s native API or Wiacom agent is not used in this path.Vendor Support
