Usage Guidelines
You can configure the Captive Portal authentication profile in the base operating system or with the Next
Generation Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEFNG) license installed. When you configure the profile in the base
operating system, the name of the profile must be entered for the initial role in the AAA profile. Also, when you
configure the profile in the base operating system, you cannot define the default-role.
Example

controller’s internal database. Users who are successfully authenticated are assigned the auth-guest role.
To create the auth-guest user role shown in this example, the PEFNG license must be installed in the controller.
