Initializing Web-Based Proxy Authentication on a Port

When you initialize the port with the set port web-auth initialize command, you are returning the port
to the first state. In this state, the IP address of the host is registered with URL redirection for redirecting
any HTTP packet from this host to the supervisor engine.
If you specify the ip_addr argument, web-based proxy authentication is initialized for that host only. If
you do not specify the ip_addr argument, web-based proxy authentication is initialized for all hosts.
You must enable web-based proxy authentication globally and on the individual port before you can
initialize a web-based proxy authentication port for authentication again.
To initialize a web-based proxy authentication port for authentication again, perform this task in
privileged mode:
Task
Initialize a web-based proxy authentication port
for authentication again.
This example shows how to initialize web-based proxy authentication again for all hosts on a port:
Console> (enable) set port web-auth 2/1 initialize
Initialized web-authentication for all hosts on port 2/1.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to initialize web-based proxy authentication again for a specific host:
Console> (enable) set port web-auth 2/1 initialize 10.1.1.1
Initialized web-authentication for host 10.1.1.1 on port 2/1.
Console> (enable)

Configuring the Login Page URL

When you enter the URL, use the url = http://string.
To configure the URL for the login page, perform this task in privileged mode:
