By default the HP ProCurve MSM710 uses port 8080 for unsecured HTML authentication and
8090 for secure HTML authentication. Depending on your sites use of Proxy Servers these
ports may not be appropriate and may need to be modified. These settings can be reviewed in
the MSM configuration under Service Controller  Public Access  Access Control. The defaults
are shown below in the screenshot from the HP ProCurve MSM Web Management Tool.
This setting has been mentioned at this point of the configuration process as it affects the
Submit URL that needs to be set in the Web Login configuration shown above. The example
shows the default setting of port 8080 being used. Note the <IP-address:port-number> syntax
used in URLs above.
The decision to use either secure (https) or non-secure (http) authentication will be determined
by what sort of Guest Access you intend to provide. If you are providing credit card based
billable Guest Access then the expectation would be that all transactions would be secure and
protected by a https session. On the other hand if you are running a Free Hotspot this may not
be as much of a concern.
Make sure you select the Skin that you would like presented as the branding for the Captive
Portal page and set the Title of the Web Login so it is displayed correctly in the user's browser.
