Customizing Authentication Pages - HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Series Security Configuration Manual

During local portal authentication, the local Web portal server pushes authentication pages to users.
You must customize the authentication pages and upload them to the device. On the device, specify
an authentication page file as the default authentication page file for local portal authentication.

Customizing authentication pages

Authentication pages are HTML files. Local portal authentication requires the following
authentication pages:
•
Logon page
•
Logon success page
•
Logon failure page
•
Online page
•
System busy page
•
Logoff success page
You must customize the authentication pages, including the page elements that the authentication
pages will use, for example, back.jpg for authentication page Logon.htm.
Follow the authentication page customization rules when you edit the authentication page files.
File name rules
The names of the main authentication page files are fixed (see
of the files other than the main authentication page files. File names and directory names are case
insensitive.

Page request rules
The local portal Web server supports only Get and Post requests.
•
Get requests—Used to get the static files in the authentication pages and allow no recursion.
For example, if file Logon.htm includes contents that perform Get action on file ca.htm, file
ca.htm cannot include any reference to file Logon.htm.
•
Post requests—Used when users submit username and password pairs, log in, and log out.
Post request attribute rules
1. Observe the following requirements when editing a form of an authentication page:
An authentication page can have multiple forms, but there must be one and only one form
whose action is logon.cgi. Otherwise, user information cannot be sent to the local portal
Web server.
The username attribute is fixed as PtUser. The password attribute is fixed as PtPwd.
