Web Authentication Process
Figure9-8 Default Web Authentication Login Window
The default login window contains a Cisco logo and Cisco-specific text. You can choose to have the web
authentication system display one of the following:
•The default login window
•A modified version of the default login window
•A customized login window that you configure on an external web server
•A customized login window that you download to the controller
The “Choosing the Web Authentication Login Window” section on page9-9 provides instructions for
choosing how the web authentication login window appears.
When the user enters a valid username and password on the web authentication login window and clicks
Submit, the web authentication system displays a successful login window and redirects the
authenticated client to the requested URL. Figure9-9 shows a typical successful login window.
Figure9-9 Successful Login Window
The default successful login window contains a pointer to a virtual gateway address URL:
https://1.1.1.1/logout.html. The IP address that you set for the controller virtual interface serves as the
redirect address for the login window (see Chapter 3 for more information on the virtual interface).
