Configuring The Http Server; Customizing The Authentication Proxy Web Pages - Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 12 Configuring Web-Based Authentication
This example shows how to configure the RADIUS server parameters on a switch:
Switch(config)# ip radius source-interface Vlan80
Switch(config)# radius-server host 172.l20.39.46 test username user1
Switch(config)# radius-server key rad123
Switch(config)# radius-server dead-criteria tries 2

Configuring the HTTP Server

To use web-based authentication, you must enable the HTTP server within the switch. You can enable
the server for either HTTP or HTTPS.
Command
Step 1
ip http server
Step 2
ip http secure-server
You can configure custom authentication proxy web pages or specify a redirection URL for successful
login.
To ensure secure authentication when you enter the ip http secure-secure command, the login page is
Note
always in HTTPS (secure HTTP) even if the user sends an HTTP request.

Customizing the Authentication Proxy Web Pages

You can configure web authentication to display four substitute HTML pages to the user in place of the
switch default HTML pages during web-based authentication.
To specify the use of your custom authentication proxy web pages, first store your custom HTML files
on the switch flash memory, then perform this task in global configuration mode:
Command
Step 1 ip admission proxy http login page file
device:login-filename
Step 2 ip admission proxy http success page file
device:success-filename
Step 3 ip admission proxy http failure page file
device:fail-filename
Step 4 ip admission proxy http login expired page file
device:expired-filename
