Configuring captive portal roles for an SSID
You can configure an access rule to enforce captive portal authentication for SSIDs with 802.1X authentication
enabled. You can configure rules to provide access to an external captive portal, internal captive portal, so that
some of the clients using this SSID can derive the captive portal role.
The following conditions apply to the 802.1X and captive portal authentication configuration:
l If captive portal settings are not configured for a user role, the captive portal settings configured for an SSID are
applied to the client's profile.
l If captive portal settings are not configured for a SSID, the captive portal settings configured for a user role are
applied to the client's profile.
l If captive portal settings are configured for both SSID and user role, the captive portal settings configured for a
user role are applied to the profile of the client.
