WLC does not redirect the HTTPS traffic (by default, version 8.x you can enable it)

If you are on an AireOS WLC you can use the command: config network web-auth secureweb

But highly don't recommend this as it can cause a performance hit on the whole WLC, also the user may be presented with the certificate warning page.

Modem Windows, Apple and Android devices utilise a http redirect to test if a captive portal is present.

Also confirm you are not using 1.1.1.1 as the virtual IP address

Thank for your reply  @Haydn Andrews

I am using C9800 and with 192.0.2.1 ( non routable ip) as Virtual ip.

I am trying to make the automatic redirect via pops up works when the user signs into the Guest WiFi.

Ensure you have HTTPs for the 9800 management enabled and this is there.

Device(config)# parameter-map type webauth global
Device(config-params-parameter-map)# webauth-http-enable
