Public Space Parameters

AAA Services with an External Web Server (EWS)

You set the configuration parameters for your External Web Server (EWS) from the PublicSpace > AAA > External
screen. When AAA services are enabled with an EWS (when PublicSpace > AAA> Basic > Authentication Method
is set to External), the AP-2500 redirects the subscriber's login request to an external server. The login page served
by the EWS reflects the "look and feel" of the solution provider's network and presents more login options.
NOTE: See External Authentication
configuration instructions. This section provides general information on the configuration options available
within this screen.
Figure 5-3 AAA External Web Server Screen

• IP Address: The IP address of the External Web Server.
• External Login Page URL: The login page on the external server to which the AP will redirect unauthenticated
customers.
