EXAMPLE 3: PROVIDING GUEST ACCESS

Figure 11 Captive Web Portal Registration Page

Unregistered users’ browsers are redirected to the registration page (index.html) of the captive web portal for the

SSID to which they associate (the guest SSID in the examples here). You can have a different registration page for

each SSID.

To access the default set of .html and .jpg files on a HiveAP, do the following:

1. Configure a guest SSID as explained in "guest SSID" on page 119 and complete the rest of the HiveAP steps

explained in this chapter to bring a HiveAP under HiveManager management.

2. Position your management system near the HiveAP and form an association with it using the guest SSID.

3. Open a web browser. When it tries to open its home page, the HiveAP intercepts the HTTP traffic and redirects

it to the captive portal web server.

4. Save the registration page to your local system. In Microsoft Internet Explorer

, for example, click File >

Save As, name it index, and in the Save as type field, choose Webpage, complete (*.htm, *.html).

5. Open the directory where you saved the index.html file.

In addition to the index.html file, there is also an images directory containing the three .jpg files that

index.html references: loginscreen_02.jpg, loginscreen_03.jpg, and loginscreen_05.jpg.

6. Because the directory structure in the HiveAP is different, move the three .jpg files to the same directory as

index.html. Optionally, delete those three images and create your own new images, saving them in the same

directory as the index.html file.

7. Open index.html with a text editor and make the following changes:

Note: An alternative approach is to log in to the console port of an individual HiveAP that you have

connected to the network—see "Step 1 Log in through the console port" on page 150—and enter the

following commands:

ssid guest

ssid guest security additional-auth-method captive-web-portal

Note: The resolution for all images

is 96 dpi. The bit depth is 24.

To modify the registration page,

do the following:

1. Set up a captive web portal on

an SSID.

2. Acting as a client, make an

association with that SSID.

3. When you see the registration

page in your browser, save it

and its accompanying images.

4. Use a graphics program to

create new .jpg images.

5. Use a text editor to modify the

text in the index.html file.

6. Upload the files to the HiveAP.
