Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate Web-based Authentication When a client connects to a Web-Auth enabled port, communication is redirected to the switch. A temporary IP address is assigned by the switch and a login screen is presented for the client to enter their username and password. The default User Login screen is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Example of Default User Login Screen When a client connects to the switch, it sends a DHCP request to receive an IP address to connect to the network. To avoid address conflicts in a secure network, you can specify a temporary IP address pool to be used by DHCP by configuring the dhcp-addr and dhcp-lease options when you enable web authentication with the aaa port-access web-based command. The Secure Socket Layer (SSLv3/TLSv1) feature provides remote web access to the network via authenticated transactions and encrypted paths between the switch and management station clients capable of SSL/TLS. If you have enabled SSL on the switch, you can specify the ssl-login option when you configure web authentication so that clients who log in to specified ports are redirected to a secure login page (https://...) to enter their credentials. The switch passes the supplied username and password to the RADIUS server for authentication and displays the following progress message: Figure 3-2. Progress Message During Authentication 3-7
