Implementing Captcha

This captcha system is put in place to force new users at the kiosk to have to use a captcha before sending a account creation request. This is a resolution to some events being spammed with account creation requests and thereby getting their email sender reputation damaged.

This is available as of version 12.0.0 and requires no "configuration" other than to add your keys to CM.

How to Add your keys to CM

  • Log into Convention master
  • Click on the "Admin event" >> "System Settings" menu.
  • Locate the setting called "Captcha Keys", set the pulldown to "hcaptcha" and then copy and paste your site key and Site Secret.

That is all that needs to happen, this will enable captcha at all the kiosks and other places needed.

How to get hCaptcha keys from their website

  • Go to https://www.hcaptcha.com/
  • Sign up and create a account that is the right size for your organization (including free level for many)
  • Log into your account
  • Click 'New Site'
  • Fill out the fields
  • Click Save
  • Now you will be brought back to your list of sites
  • Click into the server
  • Copy the site key
    Caption
  • Paste the site key into the CM Configuration
  • Site Secret
    • In Hcaptcha you can go to profile->settings to be able to roate to a new secret. So if you didn't capture the secret the first time it showed you'll have to roate the secret for all your sites.
