How does WiNG Captive Portal (RADIUS) authentication work with locally bridged (self) mode and external captive portal web pages?

[Jeff_Lanza]

I'm operating a WiNG wireless controller to manage remote APs. I'm attempting to setup external captive portal pages, and in order to have the APs handle the captive portal capture and redirection process (and RADIUS authentication) without tunneling traffic through the controller.

So far, the setup works as expected, clients are getting redirected to the proper captive portal page by the AP.

The first question is, once the external pages perform their auth processes,
1) How does the authentication form submission work on the AP (or does it) in this configuration?

I'm currently testing form submission (POST) with these two endpoints:

https://1.1.1.1:444/cgi-bin/hslogin.cgi
http://1.1.1.1:880/cgi-bin/hslogin.cgi

and these parameters:
f_user =
f_pass =
f_Qv =
f_hs_server = 1.1.1.1

2) Is the script at 1.1.1.1 served by the AP, or is that supposed to supposed to be the controller?

3) Can I post to 880 when in http redirection mode and https mode or at all?

Someone knows if there is a possible parameter (input with name) in the login form to redirect the user to a specific URL after success login (something similar to the welcome url configured in controller)?

Thanks!

Hello, for login, i know the url is http://[HS_SERVER.
Is there any URL for logout also (to disconnect user)?

Thanks!

[Cristiano_Bevil]

I found myself the answer. To disconnect the user, the url is http://[HS_SERVER , note that its without the port.

Thanks!

Actually, not sure. Redirection still happens at the AP, so perhaps it's still the AP. The controller does act as authenticator in this case, so it does need some virtual interface to handle those web requests and direct them to the available controller, but I believe you need to manually define that in the configuration.

Sorry I can't help you here.
