Tut Systems SMS2000 Chapter 15 - Customizing SMS2000 Web Authentication with RADIUS

Customizing SMS2000 Web Authentication with RADIUS

TUT Systems, Inc Page 86 of 104 P/N 220-06288-20

This chapter describes how to work with and customize web pages on the SMS2000

when using RADIUS authentication. You can obtain the original web pages, for use in

customizing, by contacting your Tut Systems representative, or you may extract them

using a web browser.

By default, a set of web pages are created on the SMS2000 and presented to the user

during authentication. These default pages can be left as is, or they can be customized for

a particular property or group. The customized pages can be loaded to the SMS2000 and

are presented in place of the default pages. This chapter describes:

• How to load customized pages to the SMS2000

• How to delete customized pages on the SMS2000

• How to customize pages for the SMS2000

Note: When using the OCS, the entire user experience is customized through

the OCS, so you should not need to customize SMS2000 web pages. Instead, all

subscriber-visible web pages can be customized through the OCS administrator

interface–itself a web based application. SMS2000 web pages are customized

only when using the SMS2000 with a RADIUS server.

Initially, a default directory is created which stores the default set of web pages used by

the SMS2000 for authentication, as well as images and other files that make up the

default web pages. The default group (*) and any other group added to the SMS2000 will

use the same default set of pages for authentication. Customized pages can be loaded and

used in place of the default files. New files, such as image files, new web pages, and

subdirectories can also be loaded for a group.

By default, the files you load are active for the default group, also called “*” (pronounced

“star”). If you are using a VLAN switch and would like to present different customized

web pages to different groups, you must associate ports with groups, and change the

default group using the set group command before loading the web pages. For more

information on groups, please see Chapter 10, “Service Creation using Groups and

Rules.”

After customizing the authentication files, they must be loaded to the SMS2000 using the

load web command. This loads a specific web page (html file) or image (.gif, .jpg, or

.png) file from an external web or ftp server which you specify.
