Reverting to the Default Captive Portal
You can reassign the default captive portal site using the "Revert to factory default settings" check box in the
"Upload Custom Login Pages" section of the Maintenance tab in the WebUI.
Configuring Localization
The ability to customize the internal captive portal provides you with a very flexible interface to the Dell captive
portal system. However, other than posting site-specific messages onto the captive portal website, the most
common type of customization is likely to be language localization. This section describes a simple method for
creating a native language captive portal implementation using the Dell internal captive portal system.
1. Customize the configurable parts of the captive portal settings to your liking. To do this, navigate to the
Configuration > Management > Captive Portal > Customize Login Page in the WebUI:
For example, choose a page design, upload a custom logo and/or a custom background. Also include any
page text and acceptable use policy that you would like to include. Put this in your target language or else
you will need to translate this at a later time.
Ensure that Guest login is enabled or disabled as necessary by navigating to the Configuration > Security
> Authentication > L3 Authentication > Captive Portal Authentication Profile page to create or
edit the captive portal profile. Select or deselect "Guest Login".
2. Click Submit and then click on View Captive Portal. Check that your customization and text/html is
correct, with the default interface still in English and the character set still autodetects to ISO-8859-1.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you are satisfied with your page.
3. Once you have a page you find acceptable, click on View Captive Portal one more time to display your
login page. From your browser, choose "View->Source" or its equivalent. Your system will display the HTML
source for the captive portal page. Save this source as a file on your local system.
4. Open the file that you saved in
step 3 on page 329, using a standard text editor, and make the following
changes:
a. Fix the character set. The default <HEAD>...</HEAD> section of the file will appear as:
<head>
<title>Portal Login</title>
<link href="default1/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
