Parameters

access-type [custom-auth-radius|logging|no-auth|radius|registration]

custom-auth-radius

Specifies the custom user information used for authentication (RADIUS lookup of given information, such as name, e-mail address, telephone, etc.). When configured, accessing clients are required to provide a 1-32 character lookup data string used to authenticate their credentials.

When selecting this option, use the custom-auth command to configure the required user information.

logging

Enables logging of user access details.

no-auth

Defines no authentication required for a guest. Requesting clients are redirected to the captive portal Welcome page without authentication.

radius

Enables RADIUS authentication for wireless clients. A requesting client‘s user credentials require authentication before access to the captive portal is permitted. This is the default setting.

registration Enables captive portal‘s clients to self register. When enabled, a requesting client‘s user credentials require authentication locally or through social media credential exchange and validation.

If enabled, use the webpage > internal > registration > field command to customize the registration page. If not customized, the default, built-in registration Web page is displayed.
