FIGURE 19-2 Import Certificate Page

Select the valid server certificate.

Type the filename or use the Browse button to the locate a properly formatted

x509 PEM server certificate file that includes both public and private key

information.

Upload the server certificate file.

Click on the upload button to load and install the certificate. Once the

certificate is installed, the Alcatel Web Interface will automatically restart (this

could take a few moments). When ready, clients using captive portal should no

longer receive the security warning message.

The same certificate may be installed in multiple switches. The switch will

parse the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) in the certificate and use that as

the redirection URL for captive portal users.

When the user's machine issues a DNS query for that FQDN upon receiving the

redirection URL, the switch will intercept that DNS request and reply to it with

the FQDN and switch loopback IP address.

The user’s browser will be redirected to a captive portal page with a valid

FQDN address after the switch receives the DNS reply.

“Captive Portal Certificates with Intermediate CAs”.
