Import Captive Web Portal HTML Files

To import an HTML file for a captive web portal (CWP), you must first create a wireless network SSID and enable CWP.
This task is part of creating or editing a network policy. Use this task to import an HTML file for your captive web portal configuration.
Note

Note

Import HTML overrides the settings that are configured in Customize and Preview.
  1. Go to Configure > Network Policies.
  2. Select an existing policy, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. On the Wireless tab, select an existing SSID and then select Edit, or select Add.
  4. On the New Captive Web Portal page, select IMPORT HTML.
  5. Select UPA-Example to download a template that you can modify.
  6. Select an existing Web File Directory, or select Create and type a new file directory name.
  7. Select Upload/Remove, navigate to the files on your system and upload them.
  8. Select DONE.
  9. Select a file to use for the Login Page.
  10. Select a file to use for the Success Page.
  11. Optional: Select Redirect clients after a successful login attempt.
  12. Select the files you want to use for the Login and Success pages, and then select SAVE CWP.

    There is no need for a failure page because error messages appear on the Login page rather than requiring navigation to a separate page. The imported files are immediately saved to ExtremeCloud IQ.

    Note

    Note

    If you previously completed the configuration with default files and uploaded the network policy to your APs, you do not need to upload the configuration again.

    If the customized files have the same name as the default files, the custom files overwrite the default files after import to ExtremeCloud IQ.

Complete the network policy configuration.
