Guest Access Instance Table
• Active Directory Servers — Add new ADS server by clicking the ✚ icon. You can add upto 3 servers.
Use arrow to move and prioritize the servers. Choose trash can to delete the configuration. Use the Test
to check if the ADS server is valid.
• External Capture Portal — The WAP device uses an external site to customize and authenticate users on the
captive portal page. For this purpose, it uses Purple WiFi: https://purple.ai/ to access on an external site.
In the Purple WiFi page, create a purple account and register. Specify the venue and location when requested.
Add the hardware details based on the MAC address of the WAP. This generates a User Guide with all the
required information for configuring the External Capture Portal (EXCAP) interface on the WAP.
Note Make sure that your Purple WiFi account is configured right before on-boarding the Cisco AP. This
ensures an appropriate functioning of the Purple WiFi redirection service.
Configure the following if using an external captive portal setting.
• Splash Page URL — Enter the URL (including https://) for the portal page which is obtained after
successful registration into the Purple WiFi. The range is 0 to 256 characters. The EXCAP hosts the initial
login page called the splash page on the cloud or on an external web server which may be outside the AP
network. For example: https://region3.purpleportal.net/access/ if your region is ASIA-PACIFIC in Purple
Wi-Fi.
• Walled Garden — Specify a list of domains that users can access before passing through the Web portal
page. Items in the list should be separated by a comma, and domains can include wildcards in the form of
an asterisk (*). The length of each domain cannot be greater than 100. Ensure that the total length of the
Walled Garden must be less than 4096. The following options should be set if you want to use them on
Purple Wi-Fi's EXCAP solution:
Purple WiFi

• RADIUS Server IP Address-1 — Enter the IPv4 address for the primary RADIUS server for this VAP.
The IPv4 address should be in a form similar to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
When the first wireless client tries to authenticate with a VAP, the WAP device sends an authentication
request to the primary server. If the primary server responds to the authentication request, the WAP device
continues to use this RADIUS server as the primary server, and the authentication requests are sent to the
specified address.
• RADIUS Server IP Address-2 — Enter the IPv4 backup RADIUS server addresses. If the authentication
fails with the primary server, the configured backup server is tried.
