Chapter11 Configuring Authentication Types
Guest Access Management
ap(config-ssid)# authentication open
ap(config-ssid)# exit
To enable web authentication:
ap(config)# ip admission name Web_auth proxy http
ap(config)# interface dot11Radio 0
ap(config-if)# ip admission Web_auth
Web Pass-through
Web Pass-through is similar to Web Authentication. However, the guest is not required to provide
authentication details.
In Web Pass-through, guests are redirected to the usage policy page when they use the Internet for the
first time. When the policy is accepted, access is granted. The access point redirects the guest to the
policy page.
Perform these steps to enable web authentication:
Step1 Browse to the Security page on the access point GUI.
Step2 Select SSID Manager.
Step3 Check the Web Pas s check box.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use these commands to enable Web Pass-through:
ap(config)# ip admission name Web_passthrough consent
ap(config)# interface dot11Radio 0
ap(config-if)# ip admission Web_passthrough
Note Web Authentication or Web Pass-through works in an interface only when there is no VLAN. The IP
admission Web_auth or IP admission Web_passthrough must be configured in the VLAN when the SSID
is mapped to the VLAN.
Guest Account Creation
Perform these steps to create new guest accounts:
Step1 Browse to Management > Guest Management Services page on the access point in the GUI.
Step2 Select New to create a new guest account.
The Webauth page is displayed.
Step3 Enter these values:
