Configuring A Portal Web Server; Enabling Portal Authentication On An Interface; Configuration Restrictions And Guidelines - HP MSR2000 Configuration Manual

Configuring a portal Web server

A portal Web server pushes the authentication page to users during portal authentication. It is also the
Web server to which the device redirects user HTTP requests.
Perform this task to configure the following portal Web server parameters:
VPN instance of the portal Web server
•
URL of the portal Web server
•
Parameters carried in the URL when the device redirects the URL to users
•
The device supports multiple portal Web servers.
To configure a portal Web server:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a portal Web server
and enter its view.
3. Specify the VPN instance to
which the portal Web server
belongs.
4. Specify the URL of the portal
Web server.
5. Configure the parameters to
be carried in the URL when the
device redirects it to users.

Enabling portal authentication on an interface

You must first enable portal authentication on an access interface before it can perform portal
authentication for connected clients.
When a portal-enabled interface receives a portal packet, it checks the source IP address and VPN
information of the packet. If the packet matches a locally configured portal authentication server, the
interface regards the packet valid and sends an authentication response packet to the portal
authentication server. Otherwise, the interface drops the packet. After a user logs in to the device, the
user interacts with the portal authentication server.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you enable portal authentication on an interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• Make sure the interface has a valid IP address before you enable portal authentication on the
interface.
Make sure the device supports IPv6 ACL and IPv6 forwarding before you enable IPv6 portal
•
authentication.
