Captive Portal - Intunes Kiosk Mode

Does anyone know if it's possible to allow an android tablet to connect to captive portals whilst in Kiosk mode.

I am currently trying to configure Intunes to allow this and cannot find a way to allow the tablet user to connect to a Captive portal as this is being restricted. Upon the device being configured and connecting to Wi-Fi it does not display the Wi-Fi landing page to allow access.

Has anyone come across this issue whilst using Intunes\Kiosk mode specifically with Android devices?

 

Thanks

    Update - it looks like we have found a solution within the Intune configuration - see below by having system notifications enabled this now allows the captive portal to appear.

     

    Thanks to those who provided in put into this, hopefully it will prove useful to someone else searching out this problem

    Its been a while since i've tested this but I believe you need to allow the chrome browser to work inside the kiosk. 

     

    But the Intune kiosk can be a bit buggy so it might not work at all. 🤣

      thanks for the response, the issue we have is that we don't want people to have access to the browser on the kiosk, I wonder if there's a way to allow the browser to allow the captive portal pop up but not show the browser icon as being available?

        Knox manage has an option to add " allowlisted apps" (https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-manage/kiosk-devices/kiosk-wizard/kiosk-wizard-menu-items/) that might be helpful for this. 

         

        But I could not find such solution in Intune. Intune is very limited when it comes to these kind of features. You could always add the chrome browser to your kiosk profile and use whitelist with only the allowed URL of the captive portal and maybe an intranet page. 

         

        When creating a whitelist in Chrome managed config, you block all other URLS.
