Configuring Captive Portal 423
What Captive Portal Pages Can Be Customized?
You can customize the following three Captive Portal pages:
• Authentication Page —This page displays when a client attempts to 
connect to the network. You can customize the images, text, and colors 
that display on this page.
• Logout Page — If the user logout mode is enabled, this page displays in a 
pop-up window after the user successfully authenticates. This window 
contains the logout button. 
• Logout Success Page — If the user logout mode is enabled, this page 
displays after a user clicks the logout button and successfully 
deauthenticates.
Understanding User Logout Mode
The User Logout Mode feature allows a user who successfully authenticates 
to the network through the captive portal to explicitly deauthenticate from 
the network. When User Logout Mode is disabled or the user does not 
specifically request logout, the connection status will remain authenticated 
until the Captive Portal deauthenticates the user based on the configured 
session timeout value. In order for the user logout feature to function 
properly, the client browser must have JavaScript enabled an must allow 
popup windows.
Localizing Captive Portal Pages
The Captive Portal localization feature allows you to create up to five 
language-specific web pages for each captive portal as long as all pages use the 
same verification type; either guest or authorized user web pages. This allows 
you to create pages in a variety of languages to accommodate a diverse group 
of users.
To customize the pages that the user sees, click the language tab. By default, 
the English tab is available. The settings for the Authentication Page display.
