MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

HTML-based user logins
This option defines settings for users who log in to the public access interface using a Web browser.
If you disable this option, the public access interface Login page is not shown to these users.
However, login is still possible via other methods such as MAC authentication and 802.1X.
For configuration details, see “Configuring HTML-based authentication on a VSC” (page 348).
NOTE: The global MAC-based authentication feature only applies on VSCs that have HTML-based
user logins enabled. See “Configuring global MAC-based authentication” (page 341).
VPN-based authentication
VPN-based authentication can be used to provide secure access for client stations on VSCs that
do not have encryption enabled.
For configuration details, see “Configuring VPN-based authentication on a VSC” (page 350).
MAC-based authentication
This option can be used to authenticate both wireless and wired users, depending on how the VSC
is configured. To configure this options, see “Configuring MAC-based authentication on a VSC”
(page 342).
This option cannot be used at the same time as HTML-based authentication. If you want to use both
MAC-based authentication and HTML-based authentication at the same time, use the global
MAC-based authentication option See “MAC-based authentication” (page 339).
