Integration Although the HP ProCurve MSM710 supports both internal and external Captive portal functionality, this integration guide will focus on the later as the internal HTML Authentication dictates the use of the internal Login Page resident on the controller itself. The Login page is very basic and doesn't allow for significant customization as is possible with the amigopod Web Logins feature. Note: HP ProCurve now allows for customised Captive portal pages to be cached on the controller but this process requires a significant amount of web design and javascript experience to produce a professional result. One of amigopod's strongest selling points is the Skin Plugin technology where the presentation of the User Interface is separated from the mechanics of the underlying application. This allows amigopod to supply end users with a ready branded Skin for all amigopod interaction (both Visitor and Administrators) for a small nominal fee at time of purchase. The integration will also leverage the MSM's ability to define and reference external RADIUS servers for the authentication and accounting of visitor accounts. In the standalone HP ProCurve Guest provisioning solution the local database in each controller is used to store user credentials, limiting the solution to the scope of the local deployment. With the introduction of amigopod, all visitor accounts are created, authenticated and accounted for on the amigopod internal RADIUS Server. CONFIDENTIAL 5

Although the HP ProCurve MSM710 supports both internal and external Captive portal
functionality, this integration guide will focus on the later as the internal HTML Authentication
dictates the use of the internal Login Page resident on the controller itself. The Login page is
very basic and doesn’t allow for significant customization as is possible with the amigopod Web
Logins feature.
Note
: HP ProCurve now allows for customised Captive portal pages to be cached on the
controller but this process requires a significant amount of web design and javascript experience
to produce a professional result. One of amigopod’s strongest selling points is the Skin Plugin
technology where the presentation of the User Interface is separated from the mechanics of the
underlying application. This allows amigopod to supply end users with a ready branded Skin for
all amigopod interaction (both Visitor and Administrators) for a small nominal fee at time of
purchase.
The integration will also leverage the MSM’s ability to define and reference external RADIUS
servers for the authentication and accounting of visitor accounts. In the standalone HP
ProCurve Guest provisioning solution the local database in each controller is used to store user
credentials, limiting the solution to the scope of the local deployment. With the introduction of
amigopod, all visitor accounts are created, authenticated and accounted for on the amigopod
internal RADIUS Server.
