C-4 Internal Captive Portal
v1.0, June 2007
Installing a New Captive Portal Page
You install the captive portal page by using the Maintenance function of the browser interface.
Log into the browser interface and navigate to Maintenance > Captive Portal > Upload Custom
Login Pages. This page lets you upload your own files to the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless
Switch.
There are three page types that you can choose:
Captive Portal Login (top level): This type uploads the file into the WFS709TP ProSafe
Smart Wireless Switch and instantly sets the captive portal page to reference the file that you
are uploading. Use with caution on a production switch, as this takes effect immediately.
Content: The content page type allows you to upload all miscellaneous files that you need to
reference from your main captive portal login page. This can be used for images, CSS files,
scripts, or any other file that you need to reference. These files are uploaded into the same
directory as the top level-captive portal page, and thus all files can be referenced relatively.
All uploaded files can also be referenced from your top-level captive portal page using any of the
following:
https://<switch_IP>/upload/<file>
/upload/<file>
<file>
You can reassign the default captive portal site using the Revert to factory default settings check
box in the Upload Custom Login Pages section of the Maintenance tab in the browser interface.
Displaying Authentication Error Message
This section contains a script that performs the following tasks:
When the user is redirected to the main captive portal login when there is authentication
failure, the redirect URL includes a query parameter
errmsg that JavaScript can extract and
display.
The originally requested URL is stored in a cookie so that once the user has authenticated, they
are automatically redirected to their original page.
