set service-profile auth-fallthru

Specifies the authentication type for users who do not match an 802.1X or MAC authentication rule for an SSID managed by the service profile. When a user tries to associate with an SSID, WSS Software checks the authentication rules for that SSID for a userwildcard that matches the username. If the SSID does not have an authentication rule that matches the username, authentication for the user falls through to the fallthru type.

The fallthru type is a service profile parameter, and applies to all radios within the radio profiles that are mapped to the service profile.

Syntax set service-profile name auth-fallthru {last-resort none web-portal}

last-resort	Automatically authenticates the user and allows access to the SSID
	requested by the user, without requiring a username and password.
none	Denies authentication and prohibits the user from accessing the SSID.
	Note: The fallthru authentication type none is different from the
	authentication method none you can specify for administrative access.
	The fallthru authentication type none denies access to a network user. In
	contrast, the authentication method none allows access to the WSS by an
	administrator. (See “set authentication admin” on page 182 and “set
	authentication console” on page 183.)
web-portal	Serves the user a web page from the WSS’s nonvolatile storage for secure
	login to the network.

Defaults The default fallthru authentication type is none.

If a username does not match a userwildcard in an authentication rule for the SSID requested by the user, the WSS that is managing the radio the user is connected to redirects the user to a web page located on the WSS. The user must type a valid username and password on the web page to access the SSID.

Access Enabled.

Usage The last-resortfallthru authentication type allows any user to access any SSID managed by the service profile. This method does not require the user to provide a username or password. Use the last-resortmethod only if none of the SSIDs managed by the service profile require secure access.
