Figure 21 Captive Portal Profile Configuration

An embedded URL within the portal configuration is designed to address the issue of bypassing the mini
browser. This page is available at the following URL:
The Web page includes logic to detect the presence of an iOS device or Mac OS X Lion machine being
redirected as part of the Aruba controller Captive Portal configuration. If these devices are detected, their
initial request to the Apple Web site will be served locally from the ClearPass Guest server, emulating the
environment of an Open connection to the Internet. By emulating the response from the Apple Web site, the
iOS device or Mac OS X machine will no longer initiate the Captive Network Assistant and the user can
launch their local browser manually as desired.
Now that the devices are able to open the local browser, any subsequent attempt to access the Internet will
be redirected to the ClearPass Guest server. This function will then differentiate between this Web browser
request and the previous Captive Network Assistant request, and forward the session to the configured
ClearPass Guest Web login page.
Because ClearPass Guest can host multiple Web login pages, a simple method is provided to configure the
Web login page that should be used. It does not require any additional configuration in ClearPass Guest.
This definition of the Web login page can be specified as part of the Captive Portal profile configuration on
the Aruba controller.
