ssl certificate warning after authentication

  • 1.  ssl certificate warning after authentication

    Posted Aug 26, 2015 03:24 AM

    Hi

    I am using Aruba7220 with ArubaOS 6.3.1.6

     

    I setup a SSID using external captive portal and welcome page

    After successful authentication, it should redirect client to the external welcome page

    But client is redirected to a blank page before redirecting to welcome page and browser shows certificate warning when redirecting to the blank page ( The page URL is https://<controllerip>/auth/index.html.......)

     

    Any suggestion to skip this blank page or to make this page trusted?

    It looks like configuration issue, can share the snapshot of your CP-Profile and Initial role ?

    Bunny Yau,

     

    Did you replace the Certificate for the Captive Portal on the Controller?

    Is your Captive Portal page external to the controller or is is on another web server (https://wifi4.hbkn.net...)?

    If the Captive Portal is on an external server, does it have an SSL certificate that your clients trust?

    Do you have "use http" checked as a troubleshooting step?  It should be unchecked if you want to do https.

    I did not replace the certificate

     

    ys, the external portal hosted on another webserver and it does have the trust certificate because there is no certificate warning when I access the welcome page directly 

     

    I tried https and alter the welcome page to https://wifi4...... but got same result.

     

    another image for more information... thanks

    the cert error is implying that somewhere you have a redirect to 10.100.12.1, but the cert (as it shows) in the controller has a CN=securelogin.arubanetworks.com

     

    please replace any usage of http(s)://10.100.12.1 on your external cp with http(s)://securelogin.arubanetworks.com

     

    having said this, https is always going to complain when a client tries to connect to https://google.com and it gets back a redirect to https://securelogin.arubantworks.com -- but that is a slightly different issue than the one you appear to have here.

     

    note that a client will always receive a spoofed DNS response for securelogin.arubanetworks.com for the switch IP of the controller it is connected to - you do not need to put that in your DNS

     

    regards
