Web Page Redirect (Captive Portal) Configuration

If you enable WPR, the SSID Management window displays additional fields that
must be configured.
If enabled, WPR displays a splash or login page when a client associates to the
wireless network and opens a browser to any URL (provided the URL does not
point to a resource directly on the client's device). The user-requested URL is
captured, the user's browser is redirected to the splash or login page, and then the
browser is redirected either to your specified landing page, if any, or else back to
the captured URL. The landing page may be specified for a user group as well.
See "Group Management" on page 305. Note that if you change the management
HTTPS port, WPR uses that port, too. See "HTTPS" on page 241.

Note that when clients roam between APs, their WPR Authentication will follow
them so that re-authentication is not required.
You may select among several different modes for use of the Web Page Redirect
feature, each displaying a different set of parameters that must be entered. For
each of these modes, set Authentication Timeout to the length of time (in
minutes) that an association using the captive portal will remain valid after a user
is disconnected. If a user session is interrupted, say if a mobile device goes into
power-save mode or a user closes a laptop lid, the user will not have to
reauthenticate unless the length of the disconnection is longer than the timeout.
The default is 120 minutes. The maximum timeout is 10080 minutes (seven days).
Web Page Redirect offers the following modes.
