Application Note
Creating a Captive Portal Profile
One of the key features of Amigopod is the ability to host the branded web login or captive portal
pages on the Amigopod appliance. With the captive portal profile, you can configure the login and
optional welcome pages to be hosted by Amigopod.
The captive portal authentication profile also defines several critical components of the working
solution such as the security role that will be used to control visitors that successfully authenticate with
Amigopod. Another component that is defined is that the Amigopod RADIUS server should be
referenced for this authentication traffic via the definition of the previous server group. The captive
portal profile definition is described in
Table 3
.
In this example, the login and welcome page URLs are configured. In a later step, these URLs will be
defined on the Amigopod as part of the web login configuration. The redirect pause will be shortened
to 3 seconds, and no logout window is needed. The default role will be set to
auth-guest
.

Based on the local deployment security policy, you must change the default
role of the captive portal profile to a role that includes appropriate firewall
policies.
