8.5.1.3 No Captive Portal support
By default, a new WM-AD with SSID network assignment type is assigned None
authentication. A SSID WM-AD with this set-up circumvents all authentication
mechanisms and the Summit WM Switch accepts all wireless devices without any
authentication.
However, even with None authentication option, you can still control access to the
network by defining appropriate filtering rules for Non-authenticated filters. For
more information, see
Section 8.6.1.2, "Configuring filtering rules for a Non-
authenticated filter", on page
None authentication does not mean that no authentication will take place.
Instead, the default filter is applied for the authentication. For more information,
see
Section 8.5.1.3, "No Captive Portal support", on page
To configure None authentication:
1. From the main menu, click WM Access Domain Configuration. The WM
Access Domain Configuration screen is displayed.
2. In the left pane, select the SSID WM-AD for which you want to configure the
authentication mechanism. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. Click the Auth & Acct tab.
4. Click Configure Captive Portal. The Captive Portal Configuration screen
is displayed.
5. Select the No Captive Portal Support option.
6. To save your changes, click Save.
Note: In order to control network access of the wireless device users on this WM-AD,
you must define appropriate rules in Default filter.
The rules in the Default filter should be very restrictive when you use None
authentication mechanism.
You must configure the final rule in the Default filter a deny all rule.
