ACCESS GATEWAY
10 Introduction
End User Licensee Count
The NSE supports a range of simultaneous user counts depending on the Nomadix Access
Gateway you choose. In addition, depending on your platform, various user count upgrades are
available for each of our NSE-powered products that allow you to increase the simultaneous
user count.
External Web Server Mode
The External Web Server (EWS) interface is for customers who want to develop and use their
own content. It allows you to create a “richer” environment than is possible with your product’s
embedded Internal Web Server.
The advantages of using an External Web Server are:
Manage frequently changing content from one location.
Serve different pages depending on site, sub-location (for example, VLAN), and user.
Take advantage of the comprehensive Nomadix XML API to implement more
complex billing plans.
Recycle existing Web page content for the centrally hosted portal page.
If you choose to use the EWS interface, Nomadix Technical Support can provide you with
sample scripts. See also, “Contact Information” on page 297.
Home Page Redirect
The NSE supports a comprehensive HTTP redirect logic that allows network administrators to
define multiple instances to intercept the browser’s request and replace it with freely
configurable URLs.
Portal page redirect enables redirection to a portal page
before the authentication process. This
means that anyone will get redirected to a Web page to establish an account, select a service
plan, and pay for access. Home Page redirect enables redirection to a page
after the
authentication process (for example, to welcome a specific user to the service—after the user
has been identified by the authentication process. See also, “Portal Page Redirect” on page 14.
iNAT™
Nomadix invented a new way of intelligently supporting multiple VPN connections to the
same termination at the same time (iNAT™), thus solving a key problem of many public access
networks.
