Figure 291 OnGuard Portal parameters
Parameter Description
Global Portal
Settings
Attribute names and value configuration for the portal.
l UsernameFormat : Format of username sent in authentication requests. This
can be used in service rules (Authentication:Full-Username attribute) to write
different service rules for different portals.
l SharedSecret : Secret shared with a Wireless Controller (for example, Xirrus
Wireless Controller) when Policy Manager is configured as an external
captive portal on the network device.
l ShowOriginalPageRedirectLink : Show a link that will take the user to the
original page (prior to being redirected to the captive portal).
Name Name is ‘default’.
Portal URL This is the URL that presents the OnGuard portal page. (Note that this is
automatically generated by Policy Manager).
Select Mode Select from the following for different modes of the portal:
l Authenticate - no health validation (HTML Form) - Policy Manager presents a
simple HTML form with the username and password. Health credentials are
not collected from the client.
l Authenticate - no health validation (Java Applet) - Policy Manager presents
an applet based form with the username and password. Health credentials
are not collected from the client. Note that, the Java applet collects the MAC
address of all interfaces on the client. In the case of a simple HTML form,
Policy Manager would have to perform the extra step of DHCP snooping to
collect the MAC address of the client.
l Check Health - no authentication (Java applet) - Username/password are not
collected. Health is evaluated via a Java applet.
l Authenticate with health checks (Java Applet) - Policy Manager prompts the
user for username and password, and also collects client health credentials
by means of a Java applet downloaded to the page.
l Authenticate with optional health checks (Dual mode) - User is presented
with a simple HTML form. User can choose to load the Java applet by clicking
on a link on this page; the java applet (dissolvable agent) also collects health
information.
l No Authentication and no health checks (HTML form) - User is presented
with a simple HTMLform for the username, which is hidden.
