In the
Authentication
area, the authentication method that is used to authenticate
the wireless users is displayed. This setting is derived from the user authentication
settings. Go to the Users > User Authentication
page to configure the
authentication method. For complete details, see
Authentication Settings, page 343
STEP 4
In the
Captive Portal Authentication Type
area, specify the web authentication
method and configure the corresponding settings:
•
Web Authentication Type:
Choose one of the following methods:
-
Internal:
Uses the default HotSpot Login page to authenticate the
wireless users. The username and password are required to login.
-
Internal, no auth with accept button:
Allows the wireless users to
access the wireless network without entering the username and
password. If you choose this option, click the
Accept
button on the
default HotSpot Login page to access the wireless network without
authentication.
-
External:
Uses a custom HotSpot Login page on an external web server
to authenticate the wireless users. The username and password are
required to login.
-
External, no auth with accept button:
Allows the wireless users to
access the wireless network without entering the username and
password. If you choose this option, click the
Accept
button on the
custom HotSpot Login page to access the wireless network without
authentication.
•
Redirect URL After Login:
Enter the desired URL including http:// or
https:// in this field (such as the URL for your company:
http://www.cisco.com). If you do not specify the portal (blank field), the
wireless users will access the original website directly.
For example, if you select
Internal
for authentication and the web portal is
set as http://www.ABcompanyC.com. Then, when a wireless user tries to
access an external website such as http://www.google.com, the default
HotSpot Login page appears.
Enter the username and password and click
Login
. After the wireless user
logged in, the user is directed to the web portal
(http://www.ABcompanyC.com). The online time for the connected wireless
user is displayed in the title bar of the login page. Click
Logout
to log out.
