HTTP and HTTPS

In this section:

  1. Web Authentication Overview
  2. Captive Portal Authentication (External Web Authentication)
    Captive portal authentication provides a means to authenticate clients through an external web server. A client that seeks web access to a network is redirected to the authentication web login page hosted on an external network access control (NAC) server (such as RUCKUS Cloudpath, Aruba ClearPass, or Cisco ISE) that is integrated with the RADIUS server.
  3. Web Authentication Configuration Considerations
  4. Configuring Web Authentication
  5. Prerequisites for Captive Portal Support with RUCKUS Cloudpath
    The following are the prerequisites to support Captive Portal (external Web Authentication) on RUCKUS ICX devices.
  6. Prerequisites for Configuring Captive Portal with Aruba ClearPass
    The following are the prerequisites to support Captive Portal (external Web Authentication) on RUCKUS ICX devices.
  7. Prerequisites for Configuring External Web Authentication with Cisco ISE
    External Web Authentication (also called Captive Portal) on a Cisco ISE server is supported on RUCKUS ICX devices.
  8. Prerequisite Configurations on an ICX Switch for Captive Portal Authentication
    The following are the prerequisites to support Captive Portal (external Web Authentication) on a RUCKUS ICX device.
  9. Creating the Captive Portal Profile for External Web Authentication
    The following steps configure the Captive Portal profile for external Web Authentication:
  10. Configuring Captive Portal (External Web Authentication)
  11. Web Authentication Mode Configuration
  12. Web Authentication Options
  13. Displaying Web Authentication Information
  14. Image Download over HTTPS
    Support has been added for downloading images to flash memory over HTTPS. HTTPS image download involves downloading of an image from the remote HTTPS server to either the primary or secondary partition in a simple process.
  15. Configuration Download over HTTPS
    Support has been added for downloading a configuration file from the HTTPS server to the startup configuration file. HTTPS configuration download works in a simple process.
  16. Configuration Upload over HTTPS
    Support has been added for uploading of a copy of the running configuration file or the startup configuration file from a FastIron device to an HTTPS server. HTTPS configuration upload works in a simple process.
