Manage Guest Network Access Users with management (admin) credentials-for example, receptionists or hotel clerks-can provision guests. Guests must provide their email address, or both a login name and password. These latter guests are referred to as captive portal users, for which you must set up a captive portal and captive portal user credentials. Note: The URL for the portal is http:///guest_access/index.php in which is the IP address of the wireless controller. Portal Concepts Captive portal authentication is typically used for hotspot users and paying guests such as hotel guests who purchase access time for an Internet connection. You can configure only a single captive portal on the wireless controller. The wireless controller supports two types of portal settings: • Guest portal. Use this portal if all wireless users are allowed to access the network by supplying only their email address. You do not need to define user names and passwords for these users. • Captive portal. Use this portal type if wireless users must supply their login name and password before being allowing access the network. You must define user names and passwords for these users (see Manage Users, Accounts, and Passwords on page 150). When you configure a captive portal, you can use either the wireless controller as a local authentication server for the captive portal clients, or you can configure an external RADIUS server for authentication.
