Web Authentication for Mobile Users
Redirecting to the Destination URL
After successful authentication, a timer counts down until the connection to
the network is established. Then the user is redirected to the Redirect URL
specified on the WLAN – Web Authentication screen.
Web-Auth Security
User Credentials
The feature may be configured to offer authentication:
■
Only to Registered users with existing RADIUS credentials,
■ Only to Guest users, using common guest credentials shared by multiple
Guest users, or
■ To both Guest and Registered users.
For authentication, you can specify both a primary RADIUS server and a
secondary RADIUS server to ensure high availability; the local RADIUS server
may also be used.
Optional Encryption
Users connecting thorough Web-Auth may associate with the AP-530’s VLAN
interface using:
■ No security,
■
Static WEP, or
■ WPA(2)-PSK.
Other Security Features
■
PAP authentication is supported.
■ Web-Auth is compatible with Identity Driven Manager (IDM) extensions,
that is, dynamic VLAN assignment, ACLs, and other IDM attributes (such
as rate limiting).
■ Web-Auth does not encrypt data passing between the station and the
access point. For additional security after Web Authentication, users may
employ a VPN or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.
■ The web server supports SSL.
