Configuring web authentication options
37
Syntax: [no] accounting
Enter the no accounting command to disable RADIUS accounting for Web Authentication.
Changing the login mode (HTTPS or HTTP)
Web Authentication can be configured to use secure (HTTPS) or non-secure (HTTP) login and logout
pages. By default, HTTPS is used. Figure 167 shows an example Login page.
To change the login mode to non-secure (HTTP), enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#no secure-login
To revert back to secure mode, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#secure-login
Syntax: [no] secure-login
Specifying trusted ports
You can configure certain ports of a Web Authentication VLAN as trusted ports. All hosts connected
to the trusted ports need not authenticate and are automatically allowed access to the network.
To create a list of trusted ports, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#trust-port ethernet 3
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#trust port ethernet 6 to 10
The above commands configure ports 3 and 6 – 10 as trusted ports.
Syntax: trust-port ethernet <port> [to <port>]
Specify the <port> variable in the following formats:
PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
Specifying hosts that are permanently authenticated
Certain hosts, such as DHCP server, gateway, printers, may need to be permanently authenticated.
Typically, these hosts are managed by the network administrator and are considered to be
authorized hosts. Also, some of these hosts (such as printers) may not have a Web browser and will
not be able to perform the Web Authentication.
To permanently authenticate these types of hosts, enter a command such as the following at the
"webauth" configuration level.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#add mac 0004.80eb.2d14 duration 0
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#add mac 0007.e90e.de3b duration 0
Syntax: [no] add mac <mac-address> duration <seconds> | ethernet <port> duration <seconds>
Syntax: no add mac <mac-address>
Specify the <port> variable in the following formats:
PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
<seconds> specifies how long the MAC address remains authenticated. Enter 0 – 128000
seconds. The default is the current value of reauth-time. A value of "0" means that Web
Authentication for the MAC address will not expire.
