ROS/UM v5.9 - Self Signup URL?

I read in the documentation thread about how the UM product has been abandoned (sad, really, it has so much potential to be such a great platform component along side RouterOS). Thus, I can understand the complete absence of documentation for the v5 version of UM - as frustrating as that might be.

I've managed to muddle through and get the system set up; and my hotspot (on the same router) can authenticate users which I've manually entered into the system.
  • "Signup Allowed" is checked under Settings/Signup tab
  • "Signup Allowed" is checked under the Customer Details
  • There are multiple full price profiles set up under the customer
  • The customer has a PublicID configured
  • I'm not sure if it's required, but the correct "Public Host" is set
  • The Authorize.net Payment Gateway is configured and enabled
My question is this:

What URL do I need to direct unauthenticated hotspot clients to, to allow them to sign up for a new account in the UM?

According to the documentation this url should be http://routerip/user?signup=publicID however when I try this URL, even from a station that is not behind the hotspot interface, I am simply directed to the primary User Manager login screen (not the signup screen).

Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for your prompt and accurate response. That URL does indeed go to the signup form!

The next logical question that comes from this is: "Can I customize the HTML of the signup page?"

The answer is: Yes, you can find the files in the filesystem of the router in the directory "umfiles". Note the "signup.html", "signup_pay_form.html", and "style.css" documents - those are what you'll want to look at.
