Customizing the User Login Page
Name
Enter a meaningful name for the custom user login page you are defining.
Login Options
Allow user logins - If this checkbox is marked, the BSC login page displays the Registered
Users login area, which enables registered users to log in to the wireless network. Default
value: Enabled. If cleared, the Registered Users login area is not displayed on the BSC
login page.
Allow guest logins - If this checkbox is marked, the BSC login page displays the Guests
login area, which allows Guest users to log in to the wireless network. Default value:
Enabled. If cleared, the Guests login area is not displayed. Authenticated Guests will
show "Guest" as their authentication server on the Active Connections page (see
"Displaying Active User Status" on page 15-2.)
Guest Role - You can configure a distinct guest role for each custom login. For example,
you might want to establish multiple Guest roles to support multiple sites. The role
assigned to the guest login defaults to the Guest role, but you can select a different role or
create a new role.
Logout popup enabled - If this checkbox is marked, a small popup window with a link
that a user can click to log out of a wireless network session is displayed in the user's
browser after confirmation of login. The user can and should use this popup to
unambiguously log out of the BSC. Default value: Enabled.
External server choice enabled - If this checkbox is marked, the user can select the
external authentication server from a drop-down list at login.
If cleared, the BSC automatically attempts user authentication through the defined list of
external authentication servers, using precedence. For more on precedence, see "LDAP/
Active Directory Authentication" on page 6-6 of this guide. Default value: Disabled.
Password change choice enabled - Display a link on the BSC login page that enables
users to change their password. Changing a password is only effective for users that
authenticate through the BSC internal user database. Default value: Enabled.
If cleared, the Change Password link is not displayed. Suppressing this link is useful if a
user authenticates through an external authentication server, because these users cannot
change external authentication server passwords from the BSC login page.
Language change choice - If this checkbox is marked, the BSC login page displays a link
that allows users to change the language used in labels on the left side of the login page.
If cleared, the Change Language link is not displayed. Default value: Disabled.
Login help button enabled - If this checkbox is marked, the BSC login page displays a
Help link that allows users to access the default login help page. Default value: Enabled.
If cleared, the Help link is not displayed. Suppressing this link is useful if an administrator
wants users to access login help only on their own custom login page.
Login install CA button enabled - If this checkbox is marked, the BSC login page displays
an Install CA Certificate link. This allows you to install the Bluesocket SSL certificate, a
credential that your browser subsequently uses to verify that the web server is a trusted
source for data. Default value: Enabled.
Terms of Service URL - URL to which user is redirected when he clicks on the link text listed
in the Terms of service text field. The web page to which the user is redirected should list
restrictions and other terms associated with the service your organization is providing.
Login Access
Enter the number of Login attempts to allow the user to make and the Number of minutes
to wait once the user has failed to login after making the indicated number of attempts.
