Hi, two persons have confirmed me that they have tried it and it magically work. Currently I have the same question and I'm asking to a pre-sales from cisco if the support is official or not.

On of my colleague run it in a production site.

Perhaps I'll have soon more info about this.

Best Regards

Miguel

Yes it works and it is supported as stated in the FlexConnect Feature Matrix (internal Webauth).

When a client associates to the WLAN, the pre-auth ALC will allow DHCP and DNS and traffic. The next step is that when a client tries to reach a website it will be redirected by the WLC to the virtual IP address of the WLC. This traffic is being tunneled by the AP into a CAPWAP tunnel to the management interface of the WLC, in this way there is no need for end-to-end IP connectivity between the client and the WLC.
