Adding an AAA Server for the Web Authentication Portal
Add an AAA server that the web authentication portal can use to authenticate users. For
instructions on how to add an AAA server to the controller, see Creating an AAA Server.
Creating a Web Authentication Portal
A web authentication portal (also known as a “captive portal”) redirects users to a logon web
page the first time they connect to a WLAN, and requires them to log on before granting access
to use the WLAN.
Follow these steps to create a web authentication portal.
1. Go to Configuration > AP Zones.
2. Click the AP zone for which you want to create a web authentication portal.
3. On the AP Zones submenu, click Web Authentication.
The Web Authentication Portal page appears.
4. Click Create New.
The Create New Web Authentication Portal form appears.
5. In General Options, configure the following options:
• Portal Name: Type a name for the web authentication portal that you are creating.
• Portal Description: Type a brief description of the portal.
• Language: Select the display language that you want to use on the web authentication
portal.
6. In Redirection, select where to redirect the user after successfully completing authentication.
• Redirect to the URL that the user intends to visit: Allows the guest user to continue to their
destination without redirection.
• Redirect to the following URL: Redirect the user to a specified web page (entered into the
text box) prior to forwarding them to their destination. When guest users land on this page,
they are shown the expiration time for their guest pass.
7. In User Session, configure the following:
• Session Timeout: Set the time (in minutes) after which inactive users will be disconnected
and required to log in again.
• Grace Period: Set the time period (in minutes) during which disconnected users are allowed
access to the hotspot service without having to log on again.
8. Click OK.
You have completed creating a web authentication portal.
