HTML-based authentication
HTML-based authentication is used with the public/guest access feature described in Chapter
14: Public/guest network access. It enables users to login to the public access interface using
a standard Web browser.
HTML-based authentication has the following properties:
Authentication is handled by the controller.
Settings are defined on a per-VSC basis.
Can only be used on access-controlled VSCs.
Configured using the Add/Edit Virtual Service Community configuration page in the
management tool.
User credentials can be validated using:
Local user accounts on the controller
External RADIUS server
Active Directory
See Configuring global access control options on page 14-8 for more configuration settings
that affect HTML-based users.
Note The global MAC-based authentication feature only applies on VSCs that have HTML-based
user logins enabled.
Configuring HTML-based authentication on a VSC
Each VSC can have unique settings for HTML-based user logins. These settings are defined on
the VSC profile page. (To open this page, see Viewing and editing VSC profiles on page 5-4).
When the Use controller for Authentication option is enabled under General, HTML-
based user login options can be defined.
