8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
9. Click the Back button.
The Profile Settings page displays again.
10. Make sure that the Admin Mode check box is selected for the selected captive portal
instance so that the instance is administratively enabled and becomes available after you
select it for a WiFi profile (see Configure and Enable WiFi Security Profiles on page 38).
Session Timeout (0-1440 minutes) Enter the period after which a captive portal session is automatically
terminated and a user is logged out.
The range is from 0 to 1440 minutes. The default value is 0, which
effectively disables the session time-out.
Authentication Mode From the Authentication Mode menu, select the authentication
database against which captive portal users are authenticated:
• Guest. Although guest users must enter a name, they are not
authenticated for the captive portal. These users are not in the
local database or the database on a RADIUS server. This mode
is suitable for an open network, for example, a hotspot with free
access. However, if the network is not open, users must enter
the passphrase or password that is associated with the WiFi
security profile (see Configure and Enable WiFi Security Profiles
on page 38).
• Local. Users are authenticated against the local database. You
must add each user to the local database (see Add User
Accounts to the Local Database for Captive Portal Access on
page 117). This mode is suitable for a secured WiFi network with
returning users.
• Radius. Users are authenticated against the database on a
RADIUS server. The user information must be in the database.
This mode is suitable for a secured WiFi network with returning
users.
Specify the following settings so that the access point can reach
the RADIUS server
- Radius IP Network. From the menu, select ipv4 or ipv6.
- Primary Authentication IP. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for
the primary RADIUS server.
- Secondary Authentication IP. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address
for the secondary RADIUS server. This setting is optional.
- Primary Authentication Key. Enter the shared key that is
used between the access point and the primary RADIUS
server during authentication.
- Secondary Authentication Key. Enter the shared key that is
used between the access point and the secondary RADIUS
server during authentication. This setting is required only if you
specify a secondary RADIUS server.
