Configuring External Captive Portal for a Guest Network
This section provides the following information:
l External Captive Portal Profiles on page 130
l Creating a Captive Portal Profile on page 130
l Configuring an SSID or Wired Profile to Use External Captive Portal Authentication on page 132
External Captive Portal Profiles
You can now configure external captive portal profiles and associate these profiles to a user role or SSID. You can
create a set of captive portal profiles in the Security>External Captive Portal window and associate these profiles
with an SSID or a wired profile. You can also create a new captive portal profile under the Security tab of the WLAN
wizard or a Wired Network window. In the current release, you can configure up to eight external captive portal
profiles.
When the captive portal profile is associated to an SSID, it is used before user authentication. If the profile is
associated to a role, it is used only after the user authentication. When a captive portal profile is applied to an SSID
or wired profile, the users connecting to the SSID or wired network are assigned a role with the captive portal rule.
The guest user role allows only DNS and DHCP traffic between the client and network, and directs all HTTP or
HTTPS requests to the captive portal unless explicitly permitted.
