Introduction

The following information provides an example of configuring remote portal authentication with user profile authorization.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 7-based access controllers and access points. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the access controllers and access points.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of AAA, portal authentication, WLAN access, and WLAN high availability.

Example: Configuring remote portal authentication and user profile authroziation

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1:

·     The AP and the client obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server.

·     The network deploys an IMC server as the portal authentication server, portal Web server, and RADIUS server for portal authentication.

Configure the devices to meet the following requirements:

·     The AC uses a service template to provide direct portal authentication for the client. Before passing the authentication, the client can access only the portal Web server. After passing the authentication, the client can access other network resources.

·     The AP forwards the client traffic locally.

·     The client can access network resources through any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication.

·     The RADIUS server can dynamically change user authorization information or forcibly disconnect users.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To allow a client to access network resources through any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication, enable portal roaming.

In local forwarding mode, to ensure that valid clients can perform portal authentication, enable validity check on wireless clients.

To avoid portal authentication failure caused by frequent logins and logouts in a short time, disable the Rule ARP entry feature.

For the RADIUS server to dynamically change user authorization information or forcibly disconnect users, enable the RADIUS session-control feature.

To use GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 on the AP to forward client traffic, edit a .txt configuration file and upload the file to the AC.

Restrictions and guidelines

Use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel to specify an AP.

Make sure the type of the portal authentication server and portal Web server is the same as the type of the portal authentication server and portal Web server actually used.

By default, the portal Web server URL redirected to users does carry parameters. You can configure the parameters to be carried in the redirection URL as needed.

Procedures

Editing the AP configuration file

# Use a text editor to edit the AP's configuration file. Name the configuration file map.txt, and then upload the file to the storage medium of the AC.

The content of the configuration file is as follows:

system-view

vlan 200

interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

port link-type trunk

port trunk permit vlan 200

After passing authentication, you can access other network resources.

# Display online portal user information on the AC.
