Want to harvest email addresses for WiFi guests

Our customer would like to harvest email addresses from guests in exchange for them using free WiFi.  Not looking to put more money in Facebook or Google's hands with this.  Just want email addresses.  Validating address format entered would be nice but not required.  No need to validate with code sent to email or anything like that.

Using cnPilot e410 and e501 APs via cnMaestro.

If this can't be done within cnMaestro how about a way to automatically redirect all users of the WiFi when they first connect each visit, to a page on the customer's web site where they can be asked for an email address?

cnMaestro supports this: under splash page configuration in the guest access portal look for the option to add custom fields. You can specifiy email as a format too, and some basic validation will be done on user input.

The data can be downloaded through session data export on the next tab.
