ExtremeCloud Appliance User Guide for version 4.36.03
Description
Allows mobile devices to access the network via captive portal
registration and remediation.
It also allows Help desk and IT administrators to track the status of
registered end-systems, as well as add, modify, and delete
registered end-systems on the network using a mobile device. This
feature is supported on the following mobile devices: IPod Touch,
IPad, IPhone, Android Phone/Tablet/NetBook, and Windows
phones.
Displays the welcome page. When this option is cleared, users
bypass the welcome page and access the portal directly.
Redirects end users to the specified test image URL upon gaining
network access. When the end-system's browser reaches the test
image URL, ExtremeCloud Appliance can assume that the end user
has network access and redirects the end user out of the captive
portal.
Use an internal image that end users don't have access to until they
are accepted. It is recommended that the test image URL is a link to
an SSL site, because when the captive portal is configured for
HTTPS , the browser will not allow the attempt to an HTTP test
image site. It is also recommended that the captive portal policies
(typically the Unregistered and Quarantine policies) are configured
to deny HTTPS traffic. This prevents the test image connection
attempt from successfully completing and moving the end-system
out of the captive portal prematurely.
If access to the test image is available, the user may experience the
captive portal reverting to the "Click here to access the network
page", and then upon selecting the link, returning to the previous
page based on their state. This behavior continues until the user is
finally accepted on to the network.
Specify the URL for the immediate redirection. See
Immediately.
