Usage guidelines
When executing this command, the local portal server loads the default authentication page file, which
is supposed to be saved in the root directory of the device. To make sure that the local portal server uses
the user-defined default authentication pages, edit and save them correctly before executing this
command. Otherwise, the system default authentication pages are used.
If you specify HTTP in this command, the redirection URL for HTTP packets is in the format of http://IP
address of the device/portal/logon.htm, and clients and the portal server exchange authentication
information through HTTP.
If you specify HTTPS in this command, the redirection URL for HTTP packets is in the format of https://IP
address of the device/portal/logon.htm, and clients and the portal server exchange authentication
information through HTTPS.
You cannot remove an SSL server policy using the undo ssl server-policy command if the policy has been
referenced by the HTTPS service.
On the device, all the SSL server policies referenced by the HTTPS service must be the same.
If an online portal user exists on the device, you cannot remove or change the configured protocol type,
or modify the SSL server policies referenced.
To change the SSL server policy referenced by HTTPS service, you must cancel the HTTPS configuration
using the undo portal local-server https command, and then specify the desired SSL server policy.
