8. Description of Web Authentication
8.1 Overview [Change]
Descriptions of this section have been corrected as follows. In addition, Table
8-2 Operating conditions for Web
authentication
has been corrected as follows:
Before the change:
In Web authentication, user authentication is based on a user ID and password that a user supplies through an
ordinary Web browser, such as Internet Explorer (abbreviated hereafter to
Web browser
). The Switches change
the status of the terminal to be authenticated on the basis of the MAC address of this authenticated user's terminal
and grant terminal access to the post-authentication network. (We recommend using Internet Explorer 6 for Web
authentication for the Switch.)
After the change:
In Web authentication, user authentication is based on a user ID and password that a user supplies through an
ordinary Web browser, such as Internet Explorer (abbreviated hereafter to
Web browser
). The Switches change
the status of the terminal to be authenticated on the basis of the MAC address of this authenticated user's terminal
and grant terminal access to the post-authentication network.
