IAP External Captive Portal not prompting

    Posted Jul 29, 2015 08:49 AM

    Hi,

    We are working on setting up an external acknowledge captive portal.

    We have the iis web page configured and accessible but the IAP is not causing it to "splash" or prompt for acknowledgement.

     

    in gui we setup

    External Name : School Captive Portal

    IP address : <web server ip>

    URL : /

    Captive Portal Failure : Deny Internet

    Automatic URL whitelisting : Disabled

    Auth Text: Welcome to the Guest Network

     

    for url we also tried servername, no luck

     

    I am guessing that we have a setting incorrectly set here.

    Any thoughts on how to get the splash page to splash?

     

    Have tried multiple systems and multiple browsers.

     

    entering in ip address or server name and custom port allows devices to access the captive portal

     

    thanks

    Try doing this:

    if you are adding a guest portal from CPPM then add the /guest/<pagename>.php as the URL

    Unfortunately, this is not connecting back to CPPM server.

    Just and IIS page that uses: 

    1.  Instant External Captive Portal with just "Accept" button:  A user with "guest" as username and "guest" as password must be in the authentication server selected:

    #<HTML>
 # <form method="POST" ACTION="http(s)://securelogin.arubanetworks.com/swarm.cgi"> ## hostname must match certificate COMMON NAME 
  #  <input type="hidden" name="user" value="guest">
   # <input type="hidden" name="password" value="guest">
    # <input type="submit" name="Accept" value="authenticate">
    #</form>
    #</HTML>

     it also provides guest with terms of agreement and access to our full RUP

    browsing to internal ip address:  192.168.20.XXX:8080 

    provides access to the web page.

    as does:

    Servername:8080

     

    Thanks

    While the CPPM doesnt directly apply - the example was the same.

    After i wrote my reply - I recognized that I didnt have a URL and any URL appended to the ip address would throw off the access.

    I removed URL (left blank) and success!

    Thanks.
