Notes concerning SSL
• When a subscriber connects to an AP that has SSL enabled, the AP’s internal login pages are sent as secure
HTTPS pages.
• The AP uses port 1111 for standard logins and port 1112 for secure logins.
• If you are setting up a portal page, a standard login link uses the following syntax:
http://APIPADDR:1111/usg/login?OS=http://www.anyWebSite.com/
A secure login link uses the following syntax:
http://[Certificate DNS Name]:1112/usg/login?OS=http://www.anyWebSite.com/
See Portal Page for more information.
Portal Page
A Portal Page is a great way to customize the login experience for the users at your hotspot. You can provide custom
content on the page and links to free Web sites (the list of free Web sites is known as a “walled garden”). For example,
an airport restaurant might want to provide free access to the airline Web sites so customers can check their flight
status.
However, using a portal page requires more equipment and some Web design skills to implement. Before enabling the
Portal Page feature, note the following:
• You must have an external Web server on your network that can host the Portal Page for you. One of the most
common Web server application is Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS), which is included with
Windows 2000 Server.
• You will need to setup the Web server before you can use the Portal Page features.
• You will need to design your own Portal Page (using HTML or a Web design application). Depending on the
features that you want to offer, you may also want to design your own Home Page Redirection page.
— The Portal Page can be as simple as an HTML document that has links to the AP’s login screen and to
your walled garden content.
