Dear all,
I'm connected to my ISP via Mikrotik wireless hotspot.
Everytime I connected to internet, I must open my web browser and login thru the login page. Then I can use email client and so on.
Is there any way to bypass this login page?
Any script or program I can add to Windows startup so I don't need to login manually? Without any changes to the server side.
Fyi, my ISP is using default Mikrotik/ROS login page.
Thanks.

Yep, telnet to port 80 on your router and send HTTP request:
Code: Select all
/login?user=username&password=password.Thx for your reply. 
Do you mean that I just telnet to port 80 to the ISP router (10.50.x.x)?
And then type:
/login?user=<username>&password=<password>.
directly at the telnet console?
Sorry, I dont know telnet well.
Btw, does mikrotik provide this small login program? for sale or free?
Thanks.

1. I do not know what do you mean by a "small login program".
2. To get logged in, it is not the telnet protocol you should know - it is just plain simple, but rather the HTTP protocol. You can use the given link in you HTTP browser, or just telnet to the relevant adress and port (might be 80) and form the request by yourself by typing it in a valid HTTP language like this:
GET /login?user=<username>&password=<password> HTTP/1.0
Notes:
1. capital letters are essential
2. you might have to press [Enter] one more time after you type the command
3. in order this trick to work you must enable unencrypted passwords in the hotspot server's configuration unless you are able to encrypt the password with MD5 (using a challenge string the server will give you) in your head and post it back :)
4. you will eventually find out whether you have successfully logged in by taking a look on the hotspot servers answer (that is why I recommend not to close the telnet prompt after you have disconnected)

What I mean by 'small login program' is a program user can run on the
client side to login into the hotspot system.
So user don't need to see the login page and manually type in the username and password.
Something like 'mikrotiklogin.exe' that we can run on Windows startup.
eg. 'mikrotiklogin.exe' get its setting from 'mikrotiklogin.ini'.
So user don't need to type anything.
Just run the program and login automatically.
This kind of login is much more simple than manually login via web.
Anyone do this before?
Thanks a lot.

Cmit, it is very kind of you if you would like to spend your time and share your knowledge writing this small automatic login program.
I'm sure this small program will be very usefull to many hotspot user.
Why do we need this automatic login program:
1. Sometime, actually there is no need to open web browser, we just want to send email or use mirc. This mikrotic login procedure force us to open web browser just to do the login.
2. Sometime, we use wireless hotspot connection for our internal internet sharing (wingate/winroute). This internet sharing server should run automatically without user intervension. But this login procedure force the user to open web browser, do the login manually. Every morning, someone has to turn on the server, wait the windows start, open browser, do the login. This can take 10 minutes.
3. Sometime, we don' want to see the ISP login page.
4. Almost all of us prefer doing things automatically than manually typing. Double clicks (or even no click) compared to type manually?
5. Anybody help me to convince Cmit?
Lastguru, I have tried to telnet to port 80 of the ISP router, and then /GET /login.htm, it return the page, but I cannot find the 'challenge string'.
But when I'm doing the login via web browser, when the browser displaying login screen, and I view the source page. I can see the challenge string. Is there any difference? Why?
Thanks a lot.

WOW!
This would be a great program. Let me know when it is available. I have a great need for something like this.

I think you should call up your supposed ISP and tell them to quit being a bunch of amateurs. Hotspot is fine for occasional use, but it was never intended to be used as a permanent, daily solution. See if this ISP will let you use PPPoE instead. An auto-login program that sits in the tray just seems like a band-aid to me. Good luck, swanto.
Utility for automated HotSpot login ready for testing...
I have finally managed to put together to utility I promised to code.
