Use a master router as a database of hotspot users?

Hello brothers
Is it possible to use a master router as hotspot database users so that all network clients can connect through the various routers?
I know this idea can be applied with UserManager by makes the UserManager database in the main router.
But can the same idea be applied by Hotspot?!
I don't want to use UserManager.

Thanks

I don't want to use UserManager.

Specifically Usermanager 4 (ROS6) and 5 (ROS7) ? Or just any central authentication like RADIUS aurhentication?

(FreeRADIUS, NAS based, Windows AD, LDAP, SSO, other vendor router based (e.g. With Draytek the router local user base is used for hotspot and available as RADIUS authentication server))

"Use RADIUS" is so obvious here. Could even handle your AP's AAA from RADIUS, including from Usermanager 5.

Thank you very much for your reply.
What about the idea that I presented?!
I mean to use the hotspot database on a different router?!
Is it technically feasible or not?!
Thanks

Or only the Hotspot on the main router, as this seems to be the only path to internet

Something like this (the ethernet case is a simple setup with MT) : https://www.mywifiservice.com/en/instal ... Fi_Network

I'm afraid Radius is the only way you can go.

We can think that UserManager have 2 main part:
1. User database and Database Management UI.
2. Radius Server, the one that serve other (including local) host about remote authentication.
