Customizing The Web Auth Login Screen; Default Web Auth Operation - Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System 2.1 Product Manual

Customizing the Web Auth Login Screen

When an Airespace system operator uses Web Authorization (Web Auth) to authenticate clients, the
operator must define User Names and Passwords for each client, and then the clients must enter a valid
User Name and Password when prompted. Because the Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System operator
may want to customize the Web Auth Login screen, the following two sections describe the default
operation and how to customize the Web Auth Login screen.
