Configuring Captive Portal Authentication
Once the custom files are created with the images and information the file type requires, download the
files to the /flash/switch directory on the switch. When a Captive Portal session is initiated, the switch
checks to see if there are any files in this directory; if so, then the custom files are incorporated and
displayed by Captive Portal. If no files are found, the default Captive Portal Web page components are
used.
Consider the following guidelines when customizing Captive Portal Web page components:
•
Filenames are case sensitive. When creating a custom file, make sure the filename matches the file-
name exactly as shown in the list of file types described above.
•
Create custom logo and background pages using the .gif, .jpg, or .png formats. Captive Portal checks
the flash/switch directory on the switch.for a .gif file, then a .jpg file, and finally a .png file. Which-
ever file type Captive Portal encounters first is the file used to display the custom logo or background.
•
The .inc files, which are used to present customized welcome messages, are partial HTML files that
can include only text or text and other HTML tags, such as links. Note that these .inc files are wrapped
in a paragraph HTML tag within the body of a Captive Portal default page.
The following is an example of a customized Captive Portal login page:
