Per-SSID Captive Portal Page
You can upload custom login pages for captive portal into the controller through the WebUI (refer to Appendix
E, “Internal Captive Portal”). The SSID to which the client associates determines the captive portal login page
displayed.
You specify the captive portal login page in the captive portal authentication profile, along with other
configurable parameters. The initial user role configuration must include the applicable captive portal
authentication profile instance. (In the case of captive portal in the base operating system, the initial user role is
automatically created when you create the captive portal authentication profile instance.) You then specify the
initial user role for captive portal in the AAA profile for the WLAN.
When you have multiple captive portal login pages loaded in the controller, you must configure a unique initial
user role and user role, and captive portal authentication profile, AAA profile, SSID profile, and virtual AP profile
