connection-mode

Configures a captive portal‘s mode of connection to the Web server. HTTP uses plain unsecured connection for user requests. HTTPS uses an encrypted connection to support user requests.

Both HTTP and HTTPS use the same URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), so controller and client resources can be identified. However, the use of HTTPS is recommended, as it affords controller and client transmissions some measure of data protection HTTP cannot provide.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000
