To configure a cloud-based CWP (captive web portal), you must first create a wireless
network SSID with Open access security. For more information, see About Captive Web Portals.
Extreme Networks provides two types of cloud-hosted CWPs. One controls
network access by leveraging user credentials in social media services like Google,
Facebook, and LinkedIn. The other type authenticates users by requiring them to
enter a PIN, which is sent to them by email, to gain network access. Both CWP types
are available in ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Connect.
This task is part of creating or editing a network policy. Use this task to configure
a cloud-based CWP.
-
Go to .
-
Select an existing policy with open access security, and then select , or select .
-
On the Wireless tab, select an existing SSID and then
select , or select .

If you require a PIN, ExtremeCloud IQ sends a randomly generated PIN to authenticate the
user.
-

ADD.
-
If you selected
ADD, enter a new Name for the
CWP.
-
Enter the length of time
that the PIN remains valid.
The validity period
begins when ExtremeCloud IQ receives the PIN
request and can last from 1 to 24 hours.
-
Enter an email address
where you want ExtremeCloud IQ to send daily
reports about successfully authenticated users on this CWP.
Each report is in .csv
format and shows the login time (in UTC, or universal coordinated time)
when the user submitted a PIN, the user name, and the MAC address of the
client device used for the connection. ExtremeCloud IQ sends a separate
email for when there are no entries to report.
-
Set the hour and minute
when ExtremeCloud IQ generates a daily
report of successful user authentications.
The time is expressed
in UTC and the report contains events for the previous 24 hours from
that time.
-
Use the default CWP
without customization, or toggle Customize
to ON and select PIN-Login-Example to export the necessary files.
-
Modify the files and
import them in the New Captive Web
Portal window.

Select Upload/Remove, navigate to the files on your system and
upload them.

want to use for the Login and
Success pages, and then select Save CWP.
The imported files are
immediately saved to
ExtremeCloud IQ.
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.
