Google Login on Classic Hotspot

CAUTION
Google has recently changed the way Oauth is being handled from any embedded webview. Therefore when you try to log in using the Google account through the internal browser you get the Authorization Error.

This changed has been imposed by the social media and it doesn't have anything to do on how Tanaza works.
Our team is investigating possible solutions for the future.

Workaround: to use the Google account authentication, open a full browser on the mobile device and try to browse any page (i.e. http://fixwifi.it) the Captive portal will be detected and you will be able to use the Google account correctly.

Enabling the Google Login option, a Google Login button will appear on the Classic Hospot  Splash Page.
The login process is automatically configured and operative, as Google communicates with the Classic Hotspot "Access Internet" application.
