I want to create a basic page that has some legal verbiage on it and requires the user to accept the terms.
I dont want a whole authentication process. How can I do this with the WLC? I also want any request to any site after they connect to a wireless ssid to redirect them to this page so they cant surf till they accept.
thoughts?

Hi Steve,
You have a few options.
1. You can create a new page from nothing. You can d/l webauth bundles from Cisco.com under wireless.
2. You can use the cisco generic page and enter your own wording. GO ->SECURITY->WEB AUTH
Once you have the page ready. Create a WLAN with passthrough. A user will get a simple accept button and will be on their way AFTER they hit accept. You can also add a redirect page say to your web site under the same WEB AUTH page.

So multiple answers here.
1.) If you are not needing to completly customize...i.e. you don't need to load your own images.
A) Go to Security > WebAuth > Webauth login page.
here you can type in your AUP.
B.) Then under the WLAN set the Security > L3 to Web Policy. Check the box for passthrough.
This will enforce the user to click on the accept button before they can browse any pages.
2.) If you are needing to use your own images, you can download the webauth.tar bundle from CCO in the same area you go to download code for the WLC.
You can use the templates contained therein to customize your own page.
From there follow step B, but you will also need to select 'Override Global config' and change teh dropdown to customezed. then you select your page name from the drop down
HTH,
Steve

I just saw this:
Verify the Web Passthrough Authentication
Complete these steps:
Open a browser window and enter the virtual IP address that is configured on the WLC.
Here, the secure https://1.1.1.1/login.html is used. This step is important in versions earlier than 3.0, but the step is not necessary in later versions. In later versions, any URL brings you to the web passthrough page.
A security alert window displays
How can I get the security warning to go away?

you would need to load an external CA cert, so that the clients have a trust of the issuing authority.

So a third-party cert? One you purchase?
06-17-2013 12:18 PM
That is correct. For the guest page that is the way to get rid of that nag-message.

Anyone doing a webauth page redirect to an external server? I have the template of html code that cisco provided as a starting point, but I do not want to have users authenticate, just want them to have hit accept or decline...how do you get these buttons to work with the WLC when you redirect to external web server?
06-17-2013 01:48 PM
There are simple accept examples in the cisco web auth package. You can install these on the WLC and use a "custom" page. There is no need for an external server. As for how to use the buttons and build a web page, you need to know HTML or at the very least move the code around to do what you need it to.
You can use the simple default page as well.

If the WLC only allows the uploads of native unix packages like .tar, why is the webauth bundle a .zip package? Do I need to convert this to a .tar file? Can I use winrar?
06-17-2013 05:43 PM
So that most programs can open it. Last I heard PKzip was recommended

I use both 7-Zip and Power Archiver on Windows to bundle up the files when I create webauth bundles.
Thanks,

Ok so I have these files, now do I just put them in a .tar file name it anything? Or does it have to be named something specific?
