you specified in the Home Page Redirection URL field (if enabled; see Home Page Redirection (HPR)).

• You can use the confirm.asp sample page to display a second custom screen that can provide additional

information to your subscribers following successful authentication. The customer can then click a link on the

confirmation screen to be redirected to his originally requested page after reviewing the information on the

confirm.asp page.

if enabled.

9. If using a custom HPR page like confirm.asp, the customer clicks a button provided on that page that redirects his

browser to the page he originally requested (or to that site’s default Web page; see the discussion on Parameter

Passing at Home Page Redirection (HPR) for details).

Refer to the steps below that correspond to the sample files you have selected.

1. Copy the two sample files (portalpage.html and portalogo.gif) to a folder on your Web server. For this example, the

files are copied to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\portal\.

2. Configure the AP to use Internal Authentication, following the instructions described in the Internal Authentication

section. Skip any steps that refer to Portal Page, walled garden, or Home Page Redirection.
