Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS 5.0 | User Guide Captive Portal | 319
To redirect proxy server traffic via the command-line interface, access the CLI in config mode and issue the
following commands.
For captive portal with Dell base operating system:
aaa authentication captive-portal profile
proxy host ipaddr port port
For captive portal with role-based access:
ip access-list session captiveportal
user alias mswitch svc-https permit
user any tcp port dst-nat 8088
user any svc-http dst-nat 8080
user any svc-https dst-nat 8081
Redirecting Clients on Different VLANs
You can redirect wireless clients that are on different VLANs (from the controller’s IP address) to the captive
portal on the controller. To do this:
1. Specify the redirect address for the captive portal.
2. For captive portal with the PEFNG license only, you need to modify the captiveportal policy that is assigned
to the user. To do this:
a. Create a network destination alias to the controller interface.
b. Modify the rule set to allow HTTPS to the new alias instead of the mswitch alias.
This example shows how to use the command-line interface to create a network destination called cp-redirect and
use that in the captiveportal policy:
ip cp-redirect-address ipaddr
For captive portal with PEFNG license:
netdestination cp-redirect ipaddr
ip access-list session captiveportal
user alias cp-redirect svc-https permit
user any svc-http dst-nat 8080
user any svc-https dst-nat 8081
Web Client Configuration with Proxy Script
If the web client proxy configuration is distributed through a proxy script (a .pac file), you need to configure the
captiveportal policy to allow the client to download the file. Note that in order modify the captiveportal policy,
you must have the PEFNG license installed in the controller.
To allow clients to download proxy script via the WebUI:
1. Edit the captiveportal policy by navigating to the Configuration > Security > Access Control > Policies
page.
2. Add a new rule with the following values:
Source is user
Destination is host
Host IP is the IP address of the proxy server
Service is svc-https or svc-http
Action is permit
Note: In the base operating system, the implicit ACL captive-portal-profile is automatically modified.
