1.Edit the captive portal authentication profile by navigating to the Configuration > Security > Authentication

>L3 Authentication page.

a.Enable (select) “Use HTTP for authentication”.

b.Click Apply.

2.(For captive portal with role-based access only) Edit the captiveportal policy by navigating to the Configuration

>Security > Access Control > Policies page.

a.Delete the rule for “user mswitch svc-https dst-nat”.

b.Add a new rule with the following values and move this rule to the top of the rules list: source is user

destination is the mswitch alias service is svc-http

action is dst-nat

c.Click Apply.

To change the protocol to HTTP via the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the following commands:

(host)(config) #aaa authentication captive-portal profile protocol-http

(For captive portal with role-based access only) (host)(config) #ip access-list session captiveportal

no user alias mswitch svc-https dst-nat user alias mswitch svc-http dst-nat user any svc-http dst-nat 8080

user any svc-https dst-nat 8081

Configuring Redirection to a Proxy Server

You can configure captive portal to work with proxy Web servers. When proxy Web servers are used, browser proxy server settings for end users are configured for the proxy server’s IP address and TCP port. When the user opens a Web browser, the HTTP/S connection request must be redirected from the proxy server to the captive portal on the controller.

To configure captive portal to work with a proxy server:

(For captive portal with base operating system) Modify the captive portal authentication profile to specify the proxy server’s IP address and TCP port.

(For captive portal with role-based access) Modify the captiveportal policy to have traffic for the proxy server’s port destination NATed to port 8088 on the controller.

The base operating system automatically modifies the implicit ACL captive-portal-profile.

The following sections describe how use the WebUI and CLI to configure the captive portal with a proxy server.

NOTE: When HTTPS traffic is redirected from a proxy server to the controller, the user’s browser will display a warning that the subject name on the certificate does not match the hostname to which the user is connecting.

To redirect proxy server traffic using the WebUI:

1.For captive portal with Dell base operating system, edit the captive portal authentication profile by navigating to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > L3 Authentication page.

a.For Proxy Server, enter the IP address and port for the proxy server.

b.Click Apply.
