Parameter Description
Name Enter a name for the profile.
Type Select any one of the following types of authentication:
l Radius Authentication - Select this option to enable user authentication against a
RADIUS server.
l Authentication Text - Select this option to specify an authentication text. The
specified text will be returned by the external server after a successful user
authentication.
IP or hostname Enter the IP address or the hostname of the external splash page server.
URL Enter the URL for the external captive portal server.
Port Enter the port number.
Use https
(Available only if
RADIUS Authentication
is selected)
Select Enabled to enforce clients to use HTTPS to communicate with the captive portal
server.
Captive Portal failure This field allows you to configure Internet access for the guest clients when the external
captive portal server is not available. Select Deny Internet to prevent clients from using
the network, or Allow Internet to allow the guest clients to access Internet when the
external captive portal server is not available.
Automatic URL
Whitelisting
Select Enabled to enable the automatic whitelisting of URLs. On selecting the check box
for the external captive portal authentication, the URLs that are allowed for the
unauthenticated users to access are automatically whitelisted. The automatic URL
whitelisting is disabled by default.
Auth Text
(Available only if
Authentication Text is
selected)
If the External Authentication splash page is selected, specify the authentication text to
be returned by the external server after successful authentication.
Server Offload Select Enabled to enable server offload. The server offload feature ensures that the
non-browser client applications are not unnecessarily redirected to the external portal
server and thereby reducing the load on the external captive portal server. The Server
Offload option is Disabled by default.
Prevent frame overlay When the Prevent frame overlay option is enabled, a frame can display a page only if it
is in the same domain as the main page. This option is Enabled by default and can be
used to prevent the overlay of frames.
Redirect URL Specify a redirect URL if you want to redirect the users to another URL.
