Configuring Port Web Authentication (PWA)

Configuring Port Web Authentication (PWA)

About PWA

PWA provides a way of authenticating users through a Web portal before allowing general access to the network.

To log on using PWA, the user makes a request through a web browser for the PWA web page or is automatically redirected to this login page after requesting a URL in a browser.

Depending upon the authenticated state of the user, a login page or a logout page will display. When a user submits username and password, the switch then authenticates the user via a preconfigured RADIUS server. If the login is successful, then the user will be granted full network access according to the user’s policy configuration on the switch.

Purpose

To review, enable, disable, and configure Port Web Authentication (PWA).
