Customizing the Web Auth Login ScreenCustomizing the Web Auth Login Screen
When a Cisco 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
username and password when prompted. Because the Cisco WLAN Solution 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.
• Default Web Auth Operation
• Customizing Web Auth Operation
• Sample Customized Web Auth Login Page
Default Web Auth OperationDefault Web Auth Operation
When the network operator uses Web Authorization (Web Auth) to authorize clients, the first time
clients attempt to access a URL they may receive a Security Alert from their web browser similar to the
following:
Figure - Typical Security Alert
After answering Yes to the Do you want to Proceed? prompt or if there is no Security Alert,
Operating System redirects the client to a Login screen that the client must use to log in using an
authorized username and password.
The client must respond with a username and password predefined using the Local Net Users > New
Web User page, or using the config netuser add command line interface (CLI) command.
Note that the Default Cisco WLAN Solution Login Screen contains Cisco WLAN Solution-specific text and
a logo in four customizable areas:
• The Cisco WLAN Solution logo in the upper-right corner can be deleted and restored.
• The Web Title “Welcome to the Cisco WLAN Solution wireless network.”
