Select Captive Portal > Instance Configuration.
Choose Create is selected from the Captive Port Instances list.
Enter the name from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters for the CP instance in the
Instance Name field.
Click Save.
The Captive Portal Instance Parameters area reappears with additional options.
Configure these parameters:
• Instance ID—Shows the instance ID. This field is not configurable.
• Administrative Mode—Enables and disables the CP instance.
• Protocol—Choose either HTTP or HTTPS as the protocol for the CP
instance to use during the verification process.
- HTTP—Does not use encryption during verification.
- HTTPS—Uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which requires a
certificate to provide encryption. The certificate is presented to the user
at connection time.
• Verification—Choose the authentication method for CP to use to verify
clients:
- Guest—The users do not need to be authenticated by a database.
- Local—The WAP device uses a local database to authenticate the users.
- RADIUS—The WAP device uses a database on a remote RADIUS server
to authenticate the users.
• Redirect—When enabled. Captive Portal should redirect the newly
authenticated client to the configured URL. If this option is disabled, the user
sees the locale-specific welcome page after a successful verification.
• Redirect URL—If the Redirect mode is enabled, enter the URL (including
http://) to which the newly authenticated client is redirected. The range is
from 0 to 256 characters.
• Away Timeout—Enter the amount of time a user remains in the CP
authenticated client list after the client disassociates from the WAP device.
If the time specified in this field expires before the client attempts to
reauthenticate, the client entry is removed from the authenticated client list.
The range is from 0 to 1440 minutes. The default value is 60 minutes.
