verification
Use the verification command to configure the verification mode for a
captive portal configuration.
Syntax
verification { guest | local | radius }
• guest—Allows access for unauthenticated users (users that do not have
assigned user names and passwords).
• local—Authenticates users against the local user database.
• radius—Authenticates users against a remote RADIUS database.
Default Configuration
The default verification mode is guest.
Command Mode
Captive Portal Instance mode.
User Guidelines
Guest access does not perform any user verification. Configure a timeout to
avoid guest users filling the captive portal authenticated users table. Guest
access may be combined with a redirect-url configuration to perform user
verification via an external authenticator.
If RADIUS authentication is configured, at least one RADIUS server must be
configured and RADIUS must be enabled.
If local authentication is configured, the user information (user ID and
password) must be configured in the local user database. See the username
command for more information on configuring local users.
Example
console(config-cp 2)#verification local
