Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone knows how to redirect to web authentication external captive portal when the user tries to access HTTPS page.

Because I have tested that the user can be redirected to captive portal only when access to HTTP webpage. But when the user accesses HTTPS webpage, the page not redirect to captive portal and display error/unreachable page.

Please advice of how to configure it.

Thank you.

Regards,

Arie

By default and in the 7.x versions and earlier, the WLC did not redirect HTTPS traffic. This means that if you open your browser and type an HTTPS address, nothing happens. You must type an HTTP address in order to get redirected to the login page which was served in HTTPS.

In Version 8.0 and later, you can enable redirection of HTTPS traffic with the CLI command config network web-auth https-redirect enable
