Modifying the Initial User Role
The captive portal authentication profile specifies the captive portal login page and other configurable
parameters. The initial user role configuration must include the applicable captive portal authentication profile
instance. Therefore, you need to modify the guest-logon user role configuration to include the guestnet captive
portal authentication profile.
To modify the guest-logon role via the WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Access Control > User Roles page.
2. Select Edit for the guest-logon role.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
4. Select the captive portal authentication profile you just created from the Captive Portal Profile drop-down
menu, and click Change.
5. Click Apply.
To modify the guest-logon role via the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the
following commands:
user-role guest-logon
captive-portal guestnet
Configuring the AAA Profile
In this section, you configure the guestnet AAA profile, which specifies the previously-created guest-logon role as
the initial role for clients who associate to the WLAN.
To configure the AAA profile via the WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > AAA Profiles page.
2. In the AAA Profiles Summary, click Add to add a new profile. Enter guestnet for the name of the profile, then
click Add.
3. For Initial role, select guest-logon.
4. Click Apply.
To configure the AAA profile via the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the
following commands:
aaa profile guestnet
initial-role guest-logon
Configuring the WLAN
In this section, you create the guestnet virtual AP profile for the WLAN. The guestnet virtual AP profile contains
the SSID profile guestnet (which configures opensystem for the SSID) and the AAA profile guestnet.
To configure the guest WLAN via the WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.
2. Select either AP Group or AP Specific tab. Click Edit for the AP group or AP name.
3. To configure the virtual AP profile, navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.
Select either the AP Group or AP Specific tab. Click Edit for the applicable AP group name or AP name.
4. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then select Virtual AP.
5. To create a new virtual AP profile, select NEW from the Add a profile drop-down menu. Enter the name for
the virtual AP profile (for example, guestnet), and click Add.
