What Captive Portal Pages Can Be Customized?

You can customize the following three Captive Portal pages:

• Authentication Page —This page displays when a client attempts to

connect to the network. You can customize the images, text, and colors

that display on this page.

• Logout Page — If the user logout mode is enabled, this page displays in a

pop-up window after the user successfully authenticates. This window

contains the logout button.

• Logout Success Page — If the user logout mode is enabled, this page

displays after a user clicks the logout button and successfully

deauthenticates.

Understanding User Logout Mode

The User Logout Mode feature allows a user who successfully authenticates

to the network through the captive portal to explicitly deauthenticate from

the network. When User Logout Mode is disabled or the user does not

specifically request logout, the connection status will remain authenticated

until the Captive Portal deauthenticates the user based on the configured

session timeout value. In order for the user logout feature to function

properly, the client browser must have JavaScript enabled an must allow

popup windows.

Localizing Captive Portal Pages

The Captive Portal localization feature allows you to create up to five

language-specific web pages for each captive portal as long as all pages use the

same verification type; either guest or authorized user web pages. This allows

you to create pages in a variety of languages to accommodate a diverse group

of users.
To customize the pages that the user sees, click the language tab. By default,

the English tab is available. The settings for the Authentication Page display.
