Captive-portal commands

Overview

The Captive Portal profile defines the web address that a user is redirected to for Captive Portal authentication. If the url is blank, a RADIUS VSA will be used.


	NOTE: There is a predefined profile called use-radius-vsa that is already configured to use the RADIUS VSA.

Two captive portal profiles are supported:

Predefined and read-only
- Predefined and read-only profile name is use-radius-vsa.
Customized

[no] aaa authentication captive-portal profile

Syntax

[no] aaa authentication captive-portal profile <PROFILE-STR> [url <URL-STR>]

Description

Create a captive-portal profile. Profiles are used in user roles to direct the user to a designated captive portal server. When the profile includes a web address, that web address is always used to contact the server. When no web address is specified, it is obtained from the RADIUS VSA.


	NOTE: A profile does not have to be pre-existing in the switch for it to be configured to a user role.

Options

profile	Configure a captive portal profile.
`<PROFILE-STR>`	Configure a captive portal profile string 64 characters long.
url	Configure the captive portal server web address.
`<URL-STR>`	Configure the captive portal server web address string.
