Configuring Web Portal WebAAA 465

CAUTION: Without the Web-Portal ACL, WebAAA users will be placed on the network without any filters.

CAUTION: Do not change the deny rule at the bottom of the ACL. This rule must be present and the capture option must be used with the rule. If the rule does not have the capture option, the Web Portal user never receives a login page. If you need to modify the Web-Portal ACL, create a new one instead, and modify the service profile or web-portal-wired user to use the new ACL.

„Authentication rules—A web authentication rule must be configured for the WebAAA users. The web rule must match on the username the WebAAA user will enter on the WebAAA login page. (The match can be on a userglob or individual username.) The web rule also must match on the SSID the user will use to access the network. If the user will access the network on a wired authentication port, the rule must match on wired.

To configure authentication rules, use the set authentication web command.

„Web Portal WebAAA must be enabled, using the set web-portalcommand. The feature is enabled by default.

Portal ACL and User ACLs

The portalacl ACL, which MSS creates automatically, applies only when a user’s session is in the portal state. After the user is authenticated and authorized, the ACL is no longer applicable.

To modify a user’s access while the user is still being authenticated and authorized, you can configure another ACL and map that ACL instead to the web-portal-ssidor web-portal-wireduser. Make sure to use the capture option for traffic you do not want to allow. 3Com recommends that you do not change the portalacl ACL. Leave the ACL as a backup in case you need to refer to it or you need to use it again.

For example, if you want to allow the user to access a credit card server while MSS is still authenticating and authorizing the user, create a new ACL, add ACEs that are the same as the ACEs in portalacl, and add a new ACE before the last one, to allow access to the credit card server. Make sure the last ACE in the ACL is the deny ACE that captures all traffic that is not allowed by the other ACEs.
