Closing splash page post authentication

TheGreenLlama — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 10:22:22 GMT

Apologies if this question has been asked before (I have been searching for this topic since yesterday).

I have a custom splash page in our set up which collects optional client contact info - then redirects to the grant URL which allows internet access - and then redirects back to a specific page.

On public captive portals I've tried out in the wild - this splash page (pop-up window) normally then closes - and this is what I want to do on ours but I've no idea how. I've seen a suggestion of using a simple window.close(). This works fine if I visit the page to test in isolation - but it's not working as part of this process (tested on iOS + Android).

I do think I'm missing something here. Has anyone got any pointer here?

Thanks.

@TheGreenLlama we have the opposite problem, we want the splash page to stay open with a specific url as the content, on IOS this works fine, but on Android, whilst the page is loaded, the splash page then disappears!

We are using 30.5.1 and an external RADIUS server for the splash page / access etc.

Nothing is missing in principle, but I suggest you download the Cisco webath bundle to see the code examples.

Thanks very much for the link. I don't currently seem to be able to download it as the site is saying I need to provide my 'full address' even though I already have! I'll see if one of my colleagues already has an account.

Cheers again
