When specifying a forwarding target after authentication on a captive portal, use the
?target= option followed by either the %dest-url% variable or a specific URL. The
%dest-url% variable forwards authenticated users to the protected resource they
originally specified. A URL forwards authenticated users to a specific site.
Note that when entering a URL with the ?target= option, you must substitute escape
characters for any special characters in the URL. Use the following escape characters
for these common special characters:
•
Replace : with %3A
•
Replace / with %2F
•
Replace - with %2D
•
Replace . with %2E
In the section “Example: Configuring a Redirect URL for Captive Portal (CLI)” in the
Junos OS Security Configuration Guide, the procedure description states that, after
authentication, users will be forwarded to the specified URL. Step 2 of the configuration
procedure, however, is incorrect. This command would forward users to
my-website.com before authentication, not after.
To redirect users after authentication, the command must include:
•
The IP address of the Infranet Controller to be used for authentication
•
The ?target= option and URL to distinguish a forwarding address to be used after
authentication
•
Escape characters substituted for any special characters in the URL name
The following text in Step 2 is incorrect:
[edit services unified-access-control]
user@host# set captive-portal my-captive-portal-policy redirect-url
https://my-website.com
The correct text for Step 2 is as follows:
[edit services unified-access-control]
user@host# set captive-portal my-captive-portal-policy redirect-url
https://192.168.0.100/?target=my%2Dwebsite%2Ecom
