Login Redirects
Comma separated list of HTTP/proxy ports to monitor - Enter HTTP and HTTP proxy port(s)
that the BSC monitors. The BSC monitors the port(s) for all unregistered users and, if it
sees a request, it redirects the user to the login page. Specify ports using the comma-
delimited format. Default value: 80.
Port of HTTP redirection for user login - Enter the port through which the BSC sends a
redirect response to the user to redirect their browser to the BSC login page. Default
value: 8080.
Redirect to hostname - This setting is important if you are using a custom SSL digital
certificate for the user login page, rather than the default Bluesocket SSL certificate. Many
digital certificate providers issue web server certificates that reference the requester's host
name rather than an IP address. If you enable this option, enter the hostname/IP address
of the BSC into your network's DNS so that it resolves properly.
If the SSL certificate you are using for login is host name-based
also ensure that the host name is registered in your organization's DNS.
If the SSL certificate is IP address-based
based.
For more on setting up custom SSL user login certificates, see "Installing a Custom SSL
Login Certificate" on page 11-22.
Automatic redirect enabled - Mark this checkbox to redirect users to the URL specified in
the Default redirect URL setting (below).
Note that there are two other places in the UI in which redirection can be specified. The
user is redirected to one of the following URLs (if specified) in the order of precedence
listed:
•
The Redirect URL Attribute field on either the RADIUS page or the LDAP page
accessed on the User Authentication tab. (See "RADIUS Authentication" on page 6-2
and "LDAP/Active Directory Authentication" on page 6-6.)
•
The URL Redirect field on the Edit Role page ("Defining a Role" on page 8-4).
•
The Default Redirect URL field on the General HTTP Settings page. (See "HTTP Server
Settings" on page 10-2
Note: If the user is assigned a role on the Edit Role page with the Thank You HTML
text specified, the browser displays the Thank You page and no redirection to a URL
occurs. The user can click on the link to go the URL, but they are not automatically
redirected to that link.
Default redirect URL - URL where the user is redirected if the Automatic Redirect Enabled
setting is checked. Default value: http://www.bluesocket.com.
Pause in seconds before redirecting user after login - Enter the delay in seconds before a
user is redirected to a requested URL. Setting is valid only when Automatic Redirect
Enabled setting is checked. Default value: 1 second.
Seconds a client is allowed to hold the web server - Defaults to 300 seconds. Any value
greater than 0 is accepted.

second a client will be redirected when accessing a site like http://www.google.com/
maps or http://www.google.com/mail
Times per second a client can access a specific host - This limits the number of times per
