Cisco 5508 HA - Webauth Bundle for multiple SSID/multiple web pages

[CiscoWiFiGuy]

Hi Guys,

I have 2* cisco 5508 WLC in HA mode . Both are running IOS 7.5.102.0 . Everything is working perfectly fine.

I need to Creat 3 differnet SSID and Creat 3 different login Pages for them . Each user from respective SSID will get specified login Page. like

I have few questions :

1) I have downloaded webauth bundle from cisco Support Site and in that itself so many files are there. So based on my scenario , in which folder do i need to copy my login and logo file.

2) i have used Picozip to convert the file in .tar format but its giving me following error "

% Error: Webauth Bundle file transfer failed - No reply from the TFTP serve" but i can ping my tftp server easliy.

3) As Controllers are in HA mode , so once i am successful in uploading webauth bundle then it will be replicated on secondary controller or do i have to turn off SSO and upload in both one by one.

Please help me out in this.

Cheers

HI Waqas,

1)  I have downloaded webauth bundle from cisco Support Site and in that  itself so many files are there. So based on my scenario , in which  folder do i need to copy my login and logo file

you can copy in notepad++ and save as html file

2) i have used Picozip to convert the file in .tar format but its giving me following error "
% Error: Webauth Bundle file transfer failed - No reply from the TFTP serve" but i can ping my tftp server easliy.

First be careful:

There are some limitations with custom webauth. Things to watch for include:

• the .tar file size (no more than 1Mb)
• the number of files in the .tar
• the filename length of the files (should be no more than 30 characters)

3)  As Controllers are in HA mode , so once i am successful in uploading  webauth bundle then it will be replicated on secondary controller or do i  have to turn off SSO and upload in both one by one.

As per my experiences you must upload on both WLC seperately.

Hi Sandeep,

Reference to my first question : i already have html and jpeg files ready with me . i have downloaded webauth bundle 1.0.2 . if you unzip it , it has following folders like : case,flash,ksink,logout,multbundle,waa,waaext,wap etc etc . So i just need to ask you in which of these folders i can place my login.html page and logo too. Rest all other files and folders i can delete in webauth bundle?

Rerferece to second question : file size is 282k , characters also less and total files inside it is only 2 "login.html and clientlogo.jpeg"

So please tell me if i am missing somthing in it.

Thanks

Hi Waqas,

Just ake a WAP page and copy at other place.(Yes there are many folders in this bundle: take any one ..which is very simple)

IN This new folder you should only have login page and logo then try to convert this folder via picozip in tar.

Then try to upload this file to wlc via GUI.

Code file transfer failed - No reply from the TFTP server

This error means:

You get this error message if the TFTP server is not active. Check to determine if the TFTP service is enabled on the server.

Ihave tried picozip and 7zip but its still same. i am getting same error message.

Looking forward to hear from your side.

HI Waqas,

Error extracting webauth files

WLC fails to load a Custom Web Authentication/Passthrough bundle if any one of the bundled files has greater than 30 characters in the filename, which includes the file extension. The customized web auth bundle has a limit of up to 30 characters for filenames. Ensure that no filenames within the bundle are greater than 30 characters.

Please use webaurh bundle provided by cisco and then modified with it.

Why do you have folders within the zip. The login.tar just needs to have your login.html and the login,jpg.

I use PowerArchiver and or 7-Zip.

Try the trail version of PowerArchiver because if the files are not tar'd correctly, you will get that error you are seeing.

Hi Scott,

I zipped it just to have it downloaded for experts .Inside it is my actual files .

Just to make it simple , for eveyone : i will create one folder named login and will place login.html and logo.jpeg file into this folder and will convert login folder to login.tar ??

Please let me know if i am mistaken.

Sure i will try power achiver too and will update this forum accordingly.

Thanks

No... No folder. You select the two files and to bundle them into a tar file.
