•
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.
The value of the PtButton attribute is either Logon or Logoff, which indicates the action
that the user requests.
A logon Post request must contain PtUser, PtPwd, and PtButton attributes.
A logoff Post request must contain the PtButton attribute.
2. Authentication pages logon.htm and logonFail.htm must contain the logon Post request.
The following example shows part of the script in page logon.htm.
<form action=logon.cgi method = post >
<p>User name:<input type="text" name = "PtUser" style="width:160px;height:22px"
maxlength=64>
<p>Password :<input type="password" name = "PtPwd" style="width:160px;height:22px"
maxlength=32>
<p><input type=SUBMIT value="Logon" name = "PtButton" style="width:60px;"
onclick="form.action=form.action+location.search;">
</form>
3. Authentication pages logonSuccess.htm and online.htm must contain the logoff Post
request.
The following example shows part of the script in page online.htm.
<form action=logon.cgi method = post >
<p><input type=SUBMIT value="Logoff" name="PtButton" style="width:60px;">
</form>
Page file compression and saving rules
You must compress the authentication pages and their page elements into a standard zip file.
•
The name of a zip file can contain only letters, numbers, and underscores.
•
The authentication pages must be placed in the root directory of the zip file.
•
Zip files can be transferred to the device through FTP or TFTP and must be saved in the root
directory of the device.
Examples of zip files on the device:
<Sysname> dir
Directory of flash:

Redirecting authenticated users to a specific webpage
To make the device automatically redirect authenticated users to a specific webpage, do the
following in logon.htm and logonSuccess.htm:
-rw- 1405 Feb 28 2008 15:53:31
