Sign In overview
Cloud-based guest network with a branded Captive Portal, a range of Sign In Modules, Access Policies, and Cisco-native integrations.
Sign In is Netgraph’s cloud-based guest network solution. It pairs a branded Captive Portal with a library of authentication methods so guests — visitors, contractors, event attendees, residents — can onboard themselves while administrators keep control over who gets what kind of access.
Sign In is consumed as a Sign-In Context inside an Organization. An Organization can run one or more Sign-In Contexts (for example, one per venue or per audience). For the hierarchy that frames this, see Platform hierarchy.
What Sign In provides
Section titled “What Sign In provides”- A Captive Portal — brand-customizable (logo, colors, fonts, background), responsive, and shipped in 13 languages. Organizations can override any string per locale.
- 10+ Sign In Modules — the authentication methods guests use. Combine them however your audiences need: Meeting Host approval, self-provisioning via Email or SMS, SAML SSO for BYOD, RADIUS against a library or visitor system, Click-to-Connect for instant access, Whitelisting for headless devices, and more. See Sign In Modules.
- Access Policies — per-audience rulesets that control which modules are enabled, how long sessions last, how many devices a guest can register, and more. See Access Policies.
- A Self-Service Portal — guests and hosts manage their own devices, guest approvals, and conferences without involving administrators.
- Cisco-native integrations — Meraki (direct API) and Service Gateway (routed deployment on Cisco Catalyst / IOS-XE / SD-WAN).
- Webhooks — stream login and session events into a SIEM, log-management platform, or custom endpoint.
- Compliance controls — data retention, GDPR data search, audit of administrative actions.
