Configuring Captive Portal for Internal Authentication
Captive Portal allows you to require network users to complete a defined process, such as logging
in or accepting a network usage policy, before accessing the internet.
The Captive Portal options are:
• 802.1x - Define the parameters of the external Captive Portal page displayed by an external
server. The authentication can be carried out by an external authentication server or by the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller request to a RADIUS server.
• Internal Captive Portal — Define the parameters of the internal Captive Portal page
displayed by the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, and the authentication request from the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller to the RADIUS server.
• GuestPortal — Define the parameters for a GuestPortal Captive Portal page. A GuestPortal
provides wireless device users with temporary guest network services.
• Guest Splash — Define the parameters of the Guest Splash page displayed by the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller. These parameters are similar to those for an internal Captive
Portal page, except that the options to configure the labels for user id and password fields are
not present since login information is not required when the user is re-directed to the
authorization Web page. This type of Captive Portal could be used where the user is expected
to read and accept some terms and conditions before being granted network access.
Note:
The SCALANCE IWLAN Controller does not support External Captive Portal at this time.
