Cisco Wireless Controlle 2504

Hello Dears,

  i have an issue on web authentication for wireless users due to the certificate, when the users try to connect we receive an alert for the certificate is it possible to use HTTP login authentication instead of HTTPS to avoid the certificate issue or not

thanks

Of course you can, but you know that is kind of frowned upon, with the debate over http vs https.  For production, you are better off getting a 3rd party certificate so you don't need to worry about the cert error.

can you please tell me the method is only to disable HTTPS web-auth or there is another way to do also if this will need restart for the WLC or not ?

@mahmoud_elsayed there are many resources out there to help guide you.  If you want to disable https for web authentication, just search google for, "cisco wlc disable https webauth".  If you want to use a 3rd party certificate, search for, "cisco wlc install 3rd party certificate for web authentication".  

Keep in mind, if there is a requirement for a restart, the controller will prompt you, so it doesn't hurt to make a change and let the controller tell you what you need to do.

On the controller go to MANAGEMENT –> HTTP-HTTPS. The third item from the top is “WebAuth SecureWeb”,  the options are enable or disable. Default is enable so change it to disable.
