Using Client Login

When a client uses a device that provides autologin capabilities, an attempt is made to detect whether the device needs to authenticate to a captive portal to gain network access via the controller. If the device determines that captive portal authentication is required, a login dialog is displayed. After logging in, access is granted and the browser window closes.

This autologin behavior is incompatible with deployments that need to direct all wireless users to a specific web page after the login completes. Using the Client Autologin feature provides configuration options to control autologin behavior.
