KB.15.15

Specifies an encryption key for use during authentication (or accounting) sessions

with the specified server. This key must match the encryption key used on the RADIUS

server. Use this command only if the specified server requires a different encryption

key than configured for the global encryption key, above. The tilde (~) character

is allowed in the string. It is not backward compatible; the “~” character is lost if

you use a software version that does not support the “~” character.

The [no] form of the command removes the key configured for a specific server.

Customizing

Customizing user login web pages

The web-based authentication process displays a series of web pages and status messages to the

user during login. The web pages that are displayed can be:

• Generic — default pages generated directly by the switch software

• Customized — pages hosted on a local web server.

By creating customized login web pages, you can improve the "look and feel" of the web

authentication process to correspond more closely with your network and business needs. For

example, you can:

• Identify the network that a client is trying to log into.

• Provide contact information if a client has difficulty connecting to the network.

• Incorporate CSS styles consistent with the appearance of your network.
