Figure 9-1 Captive Portal screen
Displays the name assigned to the captive portal guest access policy when
it was initially created. A policy name cannot be modified as part of the
edit process.
Lists the IP address (or DNS hostname) of the external (centralized) server
validating guest user permissions for the listed captive portal policy.
Lists each hosting mode as either Internal (Self) or External (centralized). If
the mode is Internal (Self), the access point is maintaining the captive
portal internally, while External (centralized) means the captive portal is
being supported on an external server.
When Centralized Server is selected as the Captive Portal Server Mode, a
VLAN is defined where the client can reach the controller. 0 is the default
value.
Lists each policy's connection mode as either HTTP or HTTPS. Motorola
Solutions recommends the use of HTTPS, as it offers client transmissions
a measure of data protection HTTP cannot provide.
Displays the number of users permitted at one time for each listed policy.
Displays whether the captive portal HTML pages are maintained Internally,
Externally (on an external system you define) or are Advanced pages
maintained and customized by the network administrator. Internal is the
default setting.
