web authentication login page

[dinocecchini]

Hi, 

i have configured my wlc for the web authentication, now work fine. But for the login page i must insert manual te virtual ip of the WLC (1.1.1.1).

There is a method that when you connect to the SSID the web page is displayed automatically? 

Thanks

Webpage not displayed when you connected to it. (client state would be WEB_AUTH_REQD)

You have to open a web browser & then it should redirect to login page. If you have configured WebAuth then user has to enter the credentials. If you have configured Web passthrough then no username verification (you can include enter email ID as an option). Then only client will be in RUN state.

Refer this for different webauth configuration options

Hi Rasika,

What code of WLC version are you using ? Also make sure opening web page is http & not https (normally most of sites, like google, automatically use https & those won't redirect)

Also check your DNS to make sure it properly resolve URL. Also try by adding a DNS entry for 1.1.1.1 IP as well.

Here are some reference WebAuth config example which may help you as well

Hi Rasika, Sorry for the late replay, Thanks for the support, the problem was that i try to open a https page. There is a method for redirect however when i open a https page? Thanks again, Dino

https redirect works from WLC software 8.0.x onward. Here is the 8.0.100.0 release notes of that code specifying this
