Activating Web Authentication

NOTE: If you want to test your connection to the authentication server, enter an existing user
name and password in the Test Authentication Settings panel, and then click Test. If testing
against a RADIUS server, this feature uses PAP or CHAP depending on the RADIUS server
configuration and the choice you made in RADIUS/RADIUS Accounting. Make sure that either
PAP or CHAP is enabled on the Remote Access Policy (assuming Microsoft IAS as the RADIUS
server) before continuing with testing authentication settings.

AAA Server" on page 89.

Activating Web Authentication

Web authentication (also known as a "captive portal") redirects users to a login Web page the
first time they connect to this WLAN, and requires them to log in before granting access to use
the WLAN.
After you activate Web authentication on your WLAN, you must then provide all users with a
URL to your login page. After they discover the WLAN on their wireless device or laptop, they
open their browser, connect to the Login page and enter the required login information.
