• You can use up to three Web servers in your network to store and display customized
Web pages for Web Authentication login.
• To configure a Web server on your network, follow the instructions in the documentation
provided with the server.
• Before you enable custom Web Authentication pages, you should:
Determine the IP address or host name of the Web server(s) that will host your custom
pages.
Determine the path on the server(s) where the HTML files (including all graphics) used
for the login pages are stored.
Configure and start the Web server(s).
Create the customized Web pages as described in “Guidelines for Customizing the HTML
Templates” on page 115, and store them in the document path on the designated servers.
Test that they are accessible at the designated URL(s).
Enabling Customized Web Authentication Pages
To enable customized Web-Auth pages on a switch, use the aaa port-access web-based ewa-server
command to specify the server’s IP address or host name and the path to the customized HTML files
on the server. See “Commands for Using Custom Web Authentication Pages” on page 128 for syntax
details.
Guidelines for Customizing the HTML Templates
When you customize an HTML template, follow these guidelines:
• Do not change the name of any of the HTML files (index.html, accept.html, and so on).
• Some template pages use Embedded Switch Includes (ESIs) or Active Server Pages.
These should not be modified when customizing HTML files. ESIs behave as follows:
i. A client’s Web browser sends a request for an HTML file. The switch passes the request to
a configured Web server.
ii. The Web server responds by sending a customized HTML page to the switch. Each ESI call
in the HTML page is replaced with the value (in plain text) retrieved by the call.
iii. The switch sends the final version of the HTML page to the client’s Web browser.
• Store all customized login Web pages (including any graphics) that you create for client
login on each Web server at the path you will configure with the aaa port-access
web-based ewa-server command.
