You can find a more advanced example simply by using your browser’s "view-source" function while viewing
the default captive portal page.
Installing a New Captive Portal Page
You can install the captive portal page by using the Maintenance function of the WebUI.
Log into the WebUI and navigate to Configuration > Management > Captive Portal > Upload Custom
Login Pages.
This page lets you upload your own files to the controller. There are different page types that you can choose:
l Captive Portal Login (top level): This type uploads the file into the controller and sets the captive portal page
to reference the file that you are uploading. Use with caution on a production controller as this takes effect
immediately.
l Captive Portal Welcome Page: This type uploads the file that appears after logon and before redirection to
the web URL. The display of the welcome page can be disabled or enabled in the captive portal profile.
l 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, 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.
Uploaded files can be referenced using:
https://<controller_IP>/upload/custom/<CP-Profile-Name>/<file>

l When the user is redirected to the main captive portal login when there is authentication failure, the redirect
URL includes a query parameter "errmsg" which java script can extract and display.
