Redirect URL assignment

The device supports the URL attribute assigned by a RADIUS server when the 802.1X-enabled port performs MAC-based access control and the port authorization state is auto. During authentication, the HTTP or HTTPS requests of an 802.1X user are redirected to the Web interface specified by the server-assigned URL attribute. After the user passes the Web authentication, the RADIUS server records the MAC address of the user and uses a DM (Disconnect Message) to log off the user. When the user initiates 802.1X authentication again, it will pass the authentication and come online successfully.

This feature is mutually exclusive with the EAD assistant feature.

To redirect the HTTPS requests of 802.1X users, specify the HTTPS redirect listening port on the device. For more information, see HTTP redirect in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
