Configuring Web-Auth to an External Web Server
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module can implement Web-Auth using pages
stored on an external Web server. While you can link as many pages together
as you want, the fundamental Web-Auth process still relies on three basic
pages: the login page, the welcome page, and the failed page. You map these
pages to the URL of the corresponding page on the external Web server. For
example, if you map www.CompanyXYZ.com/success.html to the welcome
page, the module directs successfully authenticated users to this page.
To configure Web-Auth to an external Web server, complete these steps:
1. Create at least three Web pages (one each for the login, welcome, and
failed pages) and load them on your external server. The Web pages can
be as simple or complex as you want, but they must include certain
commands that are described in “Configuring Custom Web-Auth Pages”
on page 5-35.
2. Complete the steps described in “Configuring Web-Auth” on page 5-10.
3. You should be on the Web-Auth screen for the WLAN. Select External from
the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. (See Figure 5-18.)
