The login application must send its requests to 192.168.30.173, which results in a HTTP
Host header that contains one of the following:
• Host: natting.device.com:8090
• Host: 192.168.30.173:8090
When this request is forwarded to the CN3000, it will be rejected. To solve the problem,
the login application must forge the host HTTP header. This is easily done by plugging
in the values returned by the %i, %a, and %p placeholders. For example:
Host: %i:%p
or
Host: %a,%p
The CN3000 sends the username and password to the RADIUS server to authenticate
the customer. If authentication is successful, the customer's IP address is used to grant
wireless network access to the customer's computer.
The CN3000 returns a positive or negative answer for the customer login, along with the
relevant URLs that may be needed by the login application in order to redirect the
customer to either a Welcome page or a Login error page located on the web server.
This information is returned as standard HTML. The login application must parse this
information to retrieve the response. All possible responses are described in
"Authentication results" on page 410.
