Web-Based Authentication
This section describes web-based network login.
For web-based
authentication, you
need to configure the switch DNS name, default redirect page, session refresh, and
logout-privilege. URL redirection requires the switch to be assigned a DNS name. The default
name is network-access.com. Any DNS query coming to the switch to resolve switch DNS name in
unauthenticated mode is resolved by the DNS server on the switch in terms of the interface (to
which the network login port is connected).
Note
When both HTTP and
HTTPS are enabled on the switch and sending HTTP requests from the Netlogin client, HTTPS
takes preference and the switch responds with a HTTPS response.
