Configuring the CGI Commands for the Welcome Page
Like the login page, the welcome page can include any text and graphical
elements that you want as long as you include the CGI code that the Wireless
Edge Services xl Module needs to handle Web-Auth properly. The welcome
page requires just one line of CGI code, which provides a Disconnect link:
for an external Web page—<a href=”https://192.168.1.50:444/cgi-bin/
hslogout.cgi”>Disconnect</a>
for a custom page loaded on the module—<a href=”/cgi-bin/
hslogout.cgi”>Disconnect</a>
Again, for the external page, you must replace the IP address shown in this
CGI code with the IP address of the Wireless Edge Services xl Module on your
network.
You can include this Disconnect link anywhere on the welcome page.
Figure 5-27 shows a basic welcome page.

When the user clicks the Disconnect link, the network session ends, and the
login page is displayed in the user’s Web browser.
