Enable Guest Logon – When this option is selected, the captive portal page will
display a field for guest users to enter their email address. The email address is
not validated or authenticated, but can be used to keep track of user identity.
When a user enters an email address in the guest logon field, the switch will
assign the “guest” role to the user.
Enable User Logon – When this option is selected, the captive portal page will
display a field for a registered user to enter a username and password. The
user will be authenticated against the selected authentication server and will
be assigned a role according to either the authentication server role
information, or the captive portal default role.
Enable Logout Popup Window – If this option is selected, a second web
browser window appears after captive portal authentication succeeds. This
browser window will contain a button to allow the user to logout of the
system.
Protocol Type – Selects whether the captive portal page will be transmitted
using HTTP or HTTPS (SSL). The default is HTTPS. If HTTP is selected, then
usernames and passwords would be transmitted with no encryption, making it
possible for anyone to intercept them.
Redirect Pause Time – After captive portal authentication succeeds, an
“authentication succeeded” page will display, with additional options for
downloading a VPN dialer. The page will be displayed for this time interval,
after which the browser will be redirected to the original URL requested when
the captive portal action took place.
Logon Wait Interval – If the switch control CPU is in a high load condition,
rendering the captive portal page could cause other higher-priority tasks to
slow down. This parameter specifies how long the logon process will be
delayed if the CPU is in a highly loaded condition.
CPU Utilization Threshold - If the switch control CPU is in a high load
condition, rendering the captive portal page could cause other higher-priority
tasks to slow down. This parameter specifies the CPU load that must be
exceeded in order for captive portal delay to take effect.
Authentication Failure Threshold for Station Blacklisting – If a station fails
captive portal authentication by this number of times in a row, the station will
be “blacklisted” and will not be allowed to associate to the network. Enter 0 to
disable blacklisting.
Authentication Servers – An ordered list of authentication servers to be used
when clients attempt to authenticate using captive portal.
The equivalent CLI configuration for the example above is:
