External Captive Portal Authentication using ClearPass Guest
You can configure Instant to point to ClearPass Guest (formerly known as Amigopod) as an
external Captive Portal server. User authentication is performed by:
l Matching a string in the server response
l RADIUS server (either ClearPass Guest or a different RADIUS server)
Creating a Web Login page in the ClearPass Guest
The ClearPass Guest Visitor Management Appliance provides a simple and personalized user
interface through which operational staff can quickly and securely manage visitor network access.
With ClearPass Guest, your non-technical staff have controlled access to a dedicated visitor
management user database. Through a customizable web portal, your staff can easily create an
account, reset a password or set an expiry time for visitors. Visitors can be registered at reception
and provisioned with an individual guest account that defines their visitor profile and the duration
of their visit. By defining a web login page on the ClearPass Guest Visitor Management Appliance,
you are able to provide a customized graphical login page for visitors accessing the network.
Refer to the RADIUS Services section in the ClearPass Guest Deployment Guide for information
on setting up the RADIUS Web Login feature.
