Chapter 50 Web Portal Configuration

50.1 Introduction to Web Portal Authentication

802.1x authentication uses the special client to authenticate, the device uses the special layer

2 switch, the authentication server uses RADIUS server, the format of authentication message

uses EAP protocol. Use EAPOL encapsulation technique (encapsulate EAP packets within

Ethernet frame) to process the communication between client and authentication proxy switch,

but authentication proxy switch and authentication server use EAPOR encapsulation format

(runn EAP packets on Radius protocol) to process the communication. The device and

RADIUS server use RADIUS protocol to transmit PAP packets or CHAP packets when the

device processes to relay.

For implementing identity authentication and network accessing, user should install the special

authentication client software, and spring the authentication flow to communicate with Radius

server through logging in authentication client. The after 802.1x authentication adds web

based authentication mode, the user can download a special Java Applet program by browser

or other plug-in to replace 802.1x client.

For the environment which uses 802.1x authentication, installing client or downloading the
special Java Applet program become a mortal problem. To satisfy user’s actual requirement,

the manual describes an application scene based on web portal authentication. Web portal

authentication not only implements the basic device authentication without the client but also

implement the security detection to the terminal.
