How to Configure Web-Based Authentication

Customizing the Authentication Proxy Web Pages

Before You Begin
You can configure web authentication to display four substitute HTML pages to the user in place of the
switch default HTML pages during web-based authentication.
To specify the use of your custom authentication proxy web pages, first store your custom HTML files
on the switch flash memory, then perform this task in global configuration mode:

Specifying a Redirection URL for Successful Login

You can specify a URL to which the user is redirected after authentication, effectively replacing the
internal Success HTML page.

list for a waiting period.
