    Posted May 25, 2023 09:52 AM

    Hi,
    I have AP 505 with software 8.11.1.0. I am fighting with hotspot system. I have external captive portal, it works fine. But i have problem with redirect to securelogin.arubanetworks.com all clients devices report this doman as unsecured, and its true because certificate on this site are selfsigned. 

    I will setup own securelogin domain like securelogin.mydomain.com. I have wildcard certificate for mydomain.com. I try to add my cert in Maintenance>Certificates and i have fail. Still I see Convert certificate error. For my cert i have 3 files: certificate, private key, CA cert. Also i try to convert my files to pkcs12 cert, its still does not work.

    How can i setup securelogin.arubanetworks.com for my captive portal?

    for instant APs, you need to upload the new wildcard cert in pem/cer or crt  format 
    I generally use pem with no issues. The pem format cert should have the full chain
    The last section of the pem format should include the private key.

    For speed up i bought new ssl cert for single domain. 

    I uploaded new cert, now i have my fqdn when i try to connect to my guest network. 

    In mobile device all is correct, but windows display warning about unsecured data sending. I have set use https in capative portal, windows still use http. Can i fix it or force to use https?

    What is youre external captive portal server? Does that have a trusted certificate as well?

    Where you have now 127.0.0.1, you should put in the FQDN of your captive portal server. And on the captive portal server you should configure https://fqdn-of-cert-on-iap/..path-for-login... to use https.

    This video may help you to understand the communication flow with external captive portal.

    It may help to use your browser developer tools to monitor/follow all connections made by the client to determine where the certificate warnings are triggered.
