472CHAPTER 21: CONFIGURING AAA FOR NETWORK USERS

MSS uses the following process to find the login page to display to a user:

„If the user is attempting to access an SSID and a custom page is specified in the service profile, MSS serves the custom page.

„If the switch nonvolatile storage has a page in web named

wba_form.html (web/wba_form.html), MSS serves this page. This applies to all wired authentication users. The wba_form.html page also is served to SSID users if the SSID service profile does not specify a custom page.

„If there is no wba_form.html page and no custom page in the SSID service profile, MSS serves the default page.

Copying and Modifying the Web Login Page

To copy and modify the 3Com Web login page:

1Configure an unencrypted SSID on a WX switch. The SSID is temporary and does not need to be one you intend to use in your network. To configure the SSID, use the following commands:

set service-profile name ssid-name ssid-nameset service-profile name ssid-type clear

set service-profile name auth-fallthru web-portal set radio-profile name service-profile name

set ap apnumber radio {1 2} radio-profile name mode enable

Use the first two commands to configure a temporary SSID and temporary radio profile. Use the last command to map the temporary radio profile with the disabled radio, and enable the radio.

If the radio you plan to use is already in service, you need to disable the radio profile the radio is in and remove the radio from the profile.

2From your PC, attempt to access the temporary SSID. The WX switch should serve the login page.

3Use your browser to save a copy of the page.

4Use a Web page editor or text editor to modify the page title, greeting, logo, and warning text. Be sure that the <form> HTML tag has the following format: <form name=”weblogin” method=”post” action=””>.

Earlier versions of MSS present a page using the form tag. More recent versions of MSS automatically populate the action parameter with an HTTPS URL in order to defer the SSL transaction to the actual posting of the form. This URL must be removed from the action parameter in your custom page so that the format matches the <form name=”weblogin” method=”post” action=””> format exactly.
