WebAAA Network

Access Rules

Web AAA allows network users to access the network by logging on a web page.

When a user attempts to access a web page over the network, the WX switch intercepts the HTTP or HTTPS request and serves a login Web page to the user. The user enters the username and password, and MSS checks the RADIUS server group or local database for matching user information. If the username and password match, MSS redirects the user to the web page she requested. Otherwise, MSS denies access to the user.

The fallthru access type for the SSID or wired authentication port must be set to Web. Otherwise, the web access rule will not take effect.

A web access rule is not used if the username matches on the user glob or MAC address glob in an 802.1X or MAC access rule, and the rule also matches on the SSID or wired authentication port through which the user is trying to access the network. In this case, the 802.1X or MAC rule is used instead.

Web Portal WebAAA replaces the WebAAA implementation in MSS Version 3.x. The previous implementation is deprecated beginning in MSS Version 4.0. During upgrade from MSS Version 3.x, your 3.x WebAAA configuration is automatically converted to a Web Portal WebAAA configuration.

This section assumes that you are familiar with the AAA options in MSS. For detailed information, see the “Configuring AAA for Network Users” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.
