Web Authentication for Mobile Users
Configuring Web-Auth
e. In the Server Timeout field, enter a timeout value. The default setting
is 5 seconds.
f. In the Server Retries field, enter the number of times the Wireless Edge
Services xl Module should attempt to contact the RADIUS server. The
default setting is 3.
9. Define the Allow list, which determines the devices that stations can
access before they are authenticated by the RADIUS server. (For more
information about which devices should be included on the Allow list, see
“Allow List” on page 7-7.)
a. Enable access to the Wireless Edge Services xl Module.
i. Under the Allow List heading, select one of the 0.0.0.0 addresses.
ii. In the Change field, enter the address for the module and click the
Change button.
b. Enable access to any other devices that provide services that stations
need to access before they are authenticated. If you have created Web
pages to handle the login process and stored these pages on an
external Web server, you must include the IP address for the Web
server on the Allow list.
When you add a device’s IP address to the Allow list, that device is publicly
available; no network authentication is required to access it. Any user can
access the device—unless that device (like the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module) has its own authentication requirements.
10. Configure the Web pages that mobile users use to log in and store these
pages on the Wireless Edge Services xl Module. If you want to store these
pages on an external Web server, complete step 11 instead.
a. Use the drop-down menu to specify that the WLAN’s Web pages are
internal to this system.
b. Select the Login tab to configure the login page, which users see when
they try to access your network services. (See Figure 7-9.)
