Configuration Guide WEB Authentication Configuration

Roles related to web authentication:
5) Authentication client: refers to a browser running the HTTP protocol. It sends HTTP requests when
the user uses the browser to access the network.
6) Access device: generally refers to an access layer device (for example, a wireless AP in a WLAN) in
the network topology. It is generally directly connected to
the user’s terminal device, and web
authentication must be enabled on the access device.
7) Portal Server: It provides authentication page and related operations for web authentication. When
the Portal server accepts HTTP-based authentication requests sent by the authentication client, it
collects account information and sends it to the authentication server, and then notifies the user and
the access device about the results of the authentication.
8) Radius Server: It provides radius protocol-based authentication for remote users. The Portal server
collects authentication account information of the user, and sends authentication request to the
RADIUS server based on radius protocol. The RADIUS server replies the authentication results to
the Portal server through the radius protocol.

Web authentication process:
9) Before authentication, the access device blocks all HTTP requests sent by the unauthenticated
users and redirects the requests to the Portal server. Then, an authentication window pops up in the
user’s browser.
10) During authentication, the user enters the authentication information (username, password and
verification code.) on the authentication page to interact with the Portal server and complete the
authentication.
