Web Portal Customization
Once your CP instance is associated with a VAP, you need to create a locale (an
authentication web page) and map it to the CP instance. When a user accesses a
VAP that is associated with a captive portal instance, the user sees an
authentication page. You use the Web Portal Customization page to create unique
pages for different locales on your network, and to customize the text and images
on the pages.
To create and customize a CP authentication page:
STEP 1 Select Captive Portal > Web Portal Customization in the navigation pane.
STEP 2 Select Create from the Captive Portal Web Locale list.
You can create up to three different authentication pages with different locales on
your network.
STEP 3 Enter a Web Locale Name to assign to the page. The name can include from 1 to
32 alphanumeric characters and the underscore.
STEP 4 From the Captive Portal Instances list, select the CP instance that this locale is
associated with.
