Chapter 2 Setting Up BBSM Hotspot

Feature Considerations

If you want to customize your web page beyond what is offered by the Custom Web Page Wizard, refer to the Cisco BBSM 5.2 SDK Developer Guide for instructions on manually customizing web page sets. This guide can also be used to create a custom web page for pocket PCs.

Note SDK software is provided with Cisco’s BBSM software product so customers can create custom web page sets and web page policies. Although the Cisco BBSM 5.2 SDK Developer Guide was written to be used with the BBSM software, the appropriate sections of the guide can be used to manually create custom web page sets for BBSM Hotspot, if you choose not to use BBSM Hotspot’s Custom Web Page Wizard. The SDK software, however, cannot be used with BBSM Hotspot. Using this software will corrupt the BBSM Hotspot server.

You add the new custom web page to the list of web pages on the BBSM Hotspot server by using the Custom Web Pages option in the Hotspot Configuration tool. Refer to the Adding Custom Web Pages to BBSM Hotspot, page 3-24.

If a web page requires the end user to enter sensitive information, such as credit card information, an SSL certificate should be used. When using the SSL web pages, you must buy and install an SSL certificate. For complete details on installing the certificate, refer to Appendix B, “Installing an SSL Certificate.”

Caution Because web page sets whose name ends in “Clear” do not use SSL security to transmit data to the BBSM Hotspot server, Cisco does not recommend using them in production. Without SSL, the end user’s browser transmits RADIUS and credit card information to BBSM Hotspot in clear text. BBSM Hotspot provides these web pages for demonstration and testing situations in which installing a server certificate is not feasible.
