Understanding Captive Portal
Instant supports the captive portal authentication method, where a Web page is presented to the guest users when
they try to access the Internet whether in hotels, conference centers or Wi-Fi hotspots. The Web page also prompts
the guest users to authenticate or accept the usage policy and terms. captive portals are used at many Wi-Fi
hotspots and can be used to control wired access as well.
The Instant captive portal solution consists of the following:
l The captive portal Web login page hosted by an internal or external server.
l The RADIUS authentication or user authentication against W-IAP's internal database.
l The SSID broadcast by the W-IAP.
With Instant, the administrators can create a wired or WLAN guest network based on captive portal authentication
for guests, visitors, contractors, and any non-employee users who can use the enterprise Wi-Fi network. The
administrators can also create guest accounts and customize the captive portal page with organization-specific logo,
terms, and usage policy. With captive portal authentication and guest profiles, the devices associating with the
guest SSID are assigned an initial role and are assigned IP addresses. When a guest user tries to access a URL
through HTTP or HTTPS, the captive portal web page prompting the user to authenticate with a user name and
password is displayed.
Types of Captive Portal
Instant supports the following types of captive portal authentication:
l Internal captive portal For Internal captive portal authentication, an internal server is used for hosting the
captive portal service. It supports the following types of authentication:
n Internal Authenticated When Internal Authenticated is enabled, a guest user must authenticate in the
captive portal page to access the Internet. The guest users who are required to authenticate must already be
added to the user database.
n Internal Acknowledged When Internal Acknowledged is enabled, a guest user must accept the terms
and conditions to access the Internet.
