Figure 6-66. CP Configuration The CP Configuration page contains the following fields: • Configuration Name - If multiple CP configurations exist on the system, select the CP configuration to view or configure. Use the Add button to add a new CP configuration to the switch. • Captive Portal - Use this field to enable or disable the selected CP configuration. • Protocol Mode - Choose whether to use HTTP or HTTPS as the protocol for the portal to use during the verification process. - HTTP - Does not use encryption during verification - HTTPS - Uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which requires a certificate to provide encryption. The certificate is presented to the user at connection time. • Verification Mode - Select the mode for the CP to use to verify clients: - Guest - The user does not need to be authenticated by a database. - Local - The switch uses a local database to authenticated users. - RADIUS - The switch uses a database on a remote RADIUS server to authenticate users. NOTE: To configure authorized users on the local or remote RADIUS database, see "Local User" on page 203. • Enable Redirect Mode - Select this option to specify that the CP should redirect the newly authenticated client to the configured URL. If this option is clear, the user sees the welcome page after a successful verification. • Redirect URL - Specify the URL to which the newly authenticated client is redirected if the URL Redirect Mode is enabled. 198 Configuring System Information
