Email Login

This manual describes how to provide an email login for your guests.

Hint

  • This module became free for all IACBOXes with valid Software Maintenance as of 1st december 2016.
  • The login by using an Email is meant to be free, guests can not be charged.
  • In order to configure the Email login a valid SMTP configuration (Settings / Network) is required.
  • The Email login requires at least one valid ticket template, configured as 0€ (free).

How it works

On the Client Login Page of the IACBOX, guests will notice an Email icon. This icon can be used to input an Email address. After confirming the email address, the IACBOX will send an email to it. The email will contain the credentials in order to log in, as well as a hyperlink which enables guests to log in immediately. Note that after clicking the email icon, guests will be set online for a configurable amount of time. This can be used to also check online email services via HTTP.

Example content of an email:
