page (for example, a hotel website) and all its contents. Users who do not sign up for Internet service can view "allowed" websites (typically hotel property websites). The website names must be DNS-based (not IP address based) and support the option to define wildcards. This works for client devices with or without HTTP proxy settings. When a user attempts to navigate to other websites not configured in the white list walled garden profile, the user is redirected back to the login page. In addition, the black listed walled garden profile is configured to explicitly block navigation to websites from unauthenticated users. Figure 95 - Walled Garden To create a Walled Garden access: 1. Click the Settings at the top right corner of the Instant UI and select Walled Garden. 2. To allow users access to a domain, click New and enter the domain name or URL in the Whitelist section of the window. This allows access to a domain while the user remains unauthenticated. Specify a POSIX regular expression (regex(7)), for example: l yahoo.com matches various domains such as news.yahoo.com, travel.yahoo.com and finance.yahoo.com l www.apple.com/library/test is only allow a subset of www.apple.com site corresponding to path /library/test/* l favicon.ico allows access to /favicon.ico from all domains. 3. To deny users access to a domain, click New and enter the domain name or URL in the Blacklist section of the window. This prevents unauthenticated users from viewing specific websites. When a URL specified in blacklist is accessed by an unauthenticated user, WInstant AP sends an HTTP 403 response to the client with a simple error message. If the requested URL neither appears on the blacklist or whitelist list then the request is redirected to the external captive portal.

Walled Garden
.
2.
To allow users access to a domain, click
New

finance.yahoo.com
l

path /library/test/*
l
favicon.ico allows access to /favicon.ico from all domains.
3.
To deny users access to a domain, click
New
and enter the domain name or URL in the
Blacklist
section of the window. This prevents unauthenticated users from viewing specific
websites. When a URL specified in blacklist is accessed by an unauthenticated user, W-
Instant AP sends an HTTP 403 response to the client with a simple error message.
If the requested URL neither appears on the blacklist or whitelist list then the request is
redirected to the external captive portal.
