1. In the SECURITY tab, assign values for the configuration parameters:

Table 25: Internal captive portal configuration parameters

Parameter

Description

SPLASH PAGE TYPE

Select any of the following:

 

• Internal - Authenticated—WhenInternal Authenticated is enabled, the guest

 

users are required to authenticate in the captive portal page to access the

 

internet. The guest users who are required to authenticate must already be

 

added to the user database.

 

• Internal - Acknowledged— When Internal Acknowledged is enabled, the guest

 

users are required to accept the terms and conditions to access the internet.

 

 

MAC AUTHENTICATION

Select Enabled to enable the MAC authentication.

 

 

WISPr

Select Enabled if you want to enable WISPr authentication. For more information

 

on WISPr authentication, see Configuring WISPr authentication on page 54.

 

NOTE: The WISPr authentication is applicable only for Internal-Authenticated

 

splash pages and is not applicable for wired profiles. This is applicable for WLAN

 

SSIDs only.

 

 

AUTH SERVER 1

Select any one of the following:

AUTH SERVER 2

• A server from the list of servers if the server is already configured.

• Internal Server to authenticate user credentials at run time.

 

 

• Select New for configuring a new external RADIUS server for authentication.

 

 

LOAD BALANCING

Select Enabled to enable load balancing if two authentication servers are used.

 

 

REAUTH INTERVAL

Select a value to allow the APs to periodically reauthenticate all associated and

 

authenticated clients.

 

 

BLACKLISTING

If you are configuring a wireless network profile, select Enabled to enable black-

 

listing of the clients with a specific number of authentication failures. This is applic-

 

able for WLAN SSIDs only.

 

 

ACCOUNTING MODE

Select an accounting mode for posting accounting information at the specified

 

Accounting interval. When the accounting mode is set to Authentication, the

 

accounting starts only after client authentication is successful and stops when the

 

client logs out of the network. If the accounting mode is set to Association, the

 

accounting starts when the client associates to the network successfully and stops

 

when the clientdisconnects. This is applicable for WLAN SSIDs only.

 

 

DISABLE IF UPLINK TYPE IS

To exclude uplink, select an uplink type.

 

 

ENCRYPTION

Select Enabled to configure encryption parameters. This is applicable for WLAN

 

SSIDs only.

 

 

SPLASH PAGE DESIGN

Under SPLASH PAGE VISUALS, use the editor to specify text and colors for the

 

initial page that is displayed to the users connecting to the network. The initial

 

page asks for user credentials or email, depending on the splash page type

 

(Internal - Authenticated or Internal -Acknowledged) for which you are customizing

 

the splash page design. Perform the following steps to customize the splash page

 

design.
