Portal authentication controls user access to networks. Portal authenticates a user by the username and password the user enters on a portal authentication page. Typically, portal authentication is deployed on the access layer and vital data entries.

In a portal-enabled network, users can actively initiate portal authentication by visiting the authentication website provided by the portal Web server. Or, they are redirected to the portal authentication page for authentication when they visit other websites.

The device supports Portal 1.0, Portal 2.0, and Portal 3.0.

Advantages of portal authentication

Portal authentication has the following advantages:

· Allows users to perform authentication through a Web browser without installing client software.

· Provides ISPs with diversified management choices and extended functions. For example, the ISPs can place advertisements, provide community services, and publish information on the authentication page.

· Supports multiple authentication modes. For example, re-DHCP authentication implements a flexible address assignment scheme and saves public IP addresses. Cross-subnet authentication can authenticate users who reside in a different subnet than the access device.

Extended portal functions

By forcing patching and anti-virus policies, extended portal functions help hosts to defend against viruses. Portal supports the following extended functions:

· Security check—Detects after authentication whether or not a user host installs anti-virus software, virus definition file, unauthorized software, and operating system patches.

· Resource access restriction—Allows an authenticated user to access certain network resources such as the virus server and the patch server. Users can access more network resources after passing security check.

Security check must cooperate with the IMC security policy server and the iNode client.

Portal system

A typical portal system consists of these basic components: authentication client, access device, portal authentication server, portal Web server, AAA server, and security policy server.

Figure 1 Portal system

Authentication client

An authentication client is a Web browser that runs HTTP/HTTPS or a user host that runs a portal client. Security check for the user host is implemented through the interaction between the portal client and the security policy server. Only the iNode client is supported.

Access device

An access device provides access services. It has the following functions:

· Redirects all HTTP or HTTPS requests of unauthenticated users to the portal Web server.

· Interacts with the portal authentication server and the AAA server to complete authentication, authorization, and accounting.

· Allows users that pass portal authentication to access authorized network resources.

Portal server

A portal server collectively refers to a portal authentication server and portal Web server.

The portal Web server pushes the Web authentication page to authentication clients and forwards user authentication information (username and password) to the portal authentication server. The portal authentication server receives authentication requests from authentication clients and interacts with the access device to authenticate users. The portal Web server is typically integrated with the portal authentication server and it can also be an independent server.

AAA server

The AAA server interacts with the access device to implement authentication, authorization, accounting for portal users. In a portal system, a RADIUS server can perform authentication, authorization, accounting for portal users, and an LDAP server can perform authentication for portal users.

Security policy server

The security policy server interacts with the portal client and the access device for security check and authorization for users. Only hosts that run portal clients can interact with the security policy server.

Portal authentication using a remote portal server

The components of a portal system interact as follows:

1. An unauthenticated user initiates authentication by accessing an Internet website through a Web browser. When receiving the HTTP or HTTPS request, the access device redirects it to the Web authentication page provided by the portal Web server. The user can also visit the authentication website to log in. The user must log in through the iNode client for extended portal functions.

2. The user enters the authentication information on the authentication page/dialog box and submits the information. The portal Web server forwards the information to the portal authentication server. The portal authentication server processes the information and forwards it to the access device.

3. The access device interacts with the AAA server to implement authentication, authorization, accounting for the user.

4. If security policies are not imposed on the user, the access device allows the authenticated user to access networks.

If security policies are imposed on the user, the portal client, the access device, and the security policy server interact to check the user host. If the user passes the security check, the security policy server authorizes the user to access resources based on the check result.

Local portal service

System components

As shown in Figure 2, a local portal system consists of an authentication client, access device, and AAA server. The access device acts as both the portal Web server and the portal authentication server to provide the local portal Web service for the authentication client. The authentication client can only be a Web browser, and it cannot be a user host that runs a portal client. Therefore, extended portal functions are not supported and no security policy server is required.

Figure 2 System components

Portal page customization

To provide the local portal web service, you must customize a set of authentication pages that the device will push to users. You can customize multiple sets of authentication pages, compress each set of the pages to a .zip file, and upload the compressed files to the storage medium of the device. On the device, you must specify one of the files as the default authentication page file by using the default-logon-page command.

For more information about authentication page customization, see "Customizing authentication pages."

Portal authentication modes

Portal authentication has three modes: direct authentication, re-DHCP authentication, and cross-subnet authentication. In direct authentication and re-DHCP authentication, no Layer 3 forwarding devices exist between the authentication client and the access device. In cross-subnet authentication, Layer 3 forwarding devices can exist between the authentication client and the access device.

Direct authentication

A user manually configures a public IP address or obtains a public IP address through DHCP. Before authentication, the user can access only the portal Web server and predefined authentication-free websites. After passing authentication, the user can access other network resources. The process of direct authentication is simpler than that of re-DHCP authentication.

Re-DHCP authentication

Before a user passes authentication, DHCP allocates an IP address (a private IP address) to the user. The user can access only the portal Web server and predefined authentication-free websites. After the user passes authentication, DHCP reallocates an IP address (a public IP address) to the user. The user then can access other network resources. No public IP address is allocated to users who fail authentication. Re-DHCP authentication saves public IP addresses. For example, an ISP can allocate public IP addresses to broadband users only when they access networks beyond the residential community network.

Only the iNode client supports re-DHCP authentication. IPv6 portal authentication does not support the re-DHCP authentication mode.

Cross-subnet authentication

Cross-subnet authentication is similar to direct authentication, except it allows Layer 3 forwarding devices to exist between the authentication client and the access device.

In direct authentication, re-DHCP authentication, and cross-subnet authentication, a user's IP address uniquely identifies the user. After a user passes authentication, the access device generates an ACL for the user based on the user's IP address to control forwarding of the packets from the user. Because no Layer 3 forwarding device exists between authentication clients and the access device in direct authentication and re-DHCP authentication, the access device can learn the user MAC addresses. The access device can enhance its capability of controlling packet forwarding by using the learned MAC addresses.

Portal authentication process

Direct authentication and cross-subnet authentication share the same authentication process. Re-DHCP authentication has a different process as it has two address allocation procedures.

Direct authentication/cross-subnet authentication process (with CHAP/PAP authentication)

Figure 3 Direct authentication/cross-subnet authentication process

The direct/cross-subnet authentication process is as follows:

1. A portal user access the Internet through HTTP or HTTPS, and the HTTP or HTTPS packet arrives at the access device.

¡ If the packet matches a portal free rule, the access device allows the packet to pass.

¡ If the packet does not match any portal-free rule, the access device redirects the packet to the portal Web server. The portal Web server pushes the Web authentication page to the user for him to enter his username and password.

2. The portal Web server submits the user authentication information to the portal authentication server.

3. The portal authentication server and the access device exchange CHAP messages. This step is skipped for PAP authentication. The portal authentication server decides the method (CHAP or PAP) to use.

4. The portal authentication server adds the username and password into an authentication request packet and sends it to the access device. Meanwhile, the portal authentication server starts a timer to wait for an authentication reply packet.

5. The access device and the RADIUS server exchange RADIUS packets.

6. The access device sends an authentication reply packet to the portal authentication server to notify authentication success or failure.

7. The portal authentication server sends an authentication success or failure packet to the client.

8. If the authentication is successful, the portal authentication server sends an authentication reply acknowledgment packet to the access device.

If the client is an iNode client, the authentication process includes step 9 and step 10 for extended portal functions. Otherwise the authentication process is complete.

9. The client and the security policy server exchange security check information. The security policy server detects whether or not the user host installs anti-virus software, virus definition files, unauthorized software, and operating system patches.

10. The security policy server authorizes the user to access certain network resources based on the check result. The access device saves the authorization information and uses it to control access of the user.

Re-DHCP authentication process (with CHAP/PAP authentication)

Figure 4 Re-DHCP authentication process

The re-DHCP authentication process is as follows:

Step 1 through step 7 are the same as those in the direct authentication/cross-subnet authentication process.

8. After receiving the authentication success packet, the client obtains a public IP address through DHCP. The client then notifies the portal authentication server that it has a public IP address.

9. The portal authentication server notifies the access device that the client has obtained a public IP address.

10. The access device detects the IP change of the client through DHCP and then notifies the portal authentication server that it has detected an IP change of the client IP.

11. After receiving the IP change notification packets sent by the client and the access device, the portal authentication server notifies the client of login success.

12. The portal authentication server sends an IP change acknowledgment packet to the access device.

Step 13 and step 14 are for extended portal functions.

13. The client and the security policy server exchanges security check information. The security policy server detects whether or not the user host installs anti-virus software, virus definition files, unauthorized software, and operating system patches.

14. The security policy server authorizes the user to access certain network resources based on the check result. The access device saves the authorization information and uses it to control access of the user.

Portal support for EAP

To use portal authentication that supports EAP, the portal authentication server and client must be the IMC portal server and the iNode portal client. Local portal authentication does not support EAP authentication.

Compared with username and password based authentication, digital certificate-based authentication ensures higher security.

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) supports several digital certificate-based authentication methods, for example, EAP-TLS. Working together with EAP, portal authentication can implement digital certificate-based user authentication.

Figure 5 Portal support for EAP working flow diagram

As shown in Figure 5, the authentication client and the portal authentication server exchange EAP authentication packets. The portal authentication server and the access device exchange portal authentication packets that carry the EAP-Message attributes. The access device and the RADIUS server exchange RADIUS packets that carry the EAP-Message attributes. The RADIUS server that supports the EAP server function processes the EAP packets encapsulated in the EAP-Message attributes, and provides the EAP authentication result.

The access device does not process but only transports EAP-Message attributes between the portal authentication server and the RADIUS server. Therefore, the access device requires no additional configuration to support EAP authentication.

Portal filtering rules

The access device uses portal filtering rules to control user traffic forwarding.

Based on the configuration and authentication status of portal users, the device generates the following categories of portal filtering rules:

· Category-1—The rule permits user packets that are destined for the portal Web server and packets that match the portal-free rules to pass through.

· Category-2—For an authenticated user with no ACL authorized, the rule allows the user to access any destination network resources. For an authenticated user with an ACL authorized, the rule allows users to access resources permitted by the ACL. The device adds the rule when a user comes online and deletes the rule when the user goes offline.

The device supports the following types of authorization ACLs:

¡ Basic ACLs (ACL 2000 to ACL 2999).

¡ Advanced ACLs (ACL 3000 to ACL 3999).

For an authorization ACL to take effect, make sure the ACL exists and has ACL rules excluding rules configured with the counting, established, fragment, source-mac, or logging keyword. For more information about ACL rules, see ACL commands in ACL and QoS Command Reference.

· Category-3—The rule redirects all HTTP or HTTPS requests from unauthenticated users to the portal Web server.

· Category-4—For direct authentication and cross-subnet authentication, the rule forbids any user packets to pass through. For re-DHCP authentication, the device forbids user packets with private source addresses to pass.

After receiving a user packet, the device compares the packet against the filtering rules from category-1 to category-4. Once the packet matches a rule, the matching process completes.

MAC-based quick portal authentication

MAC-based quick portal authentication is applicable to scenarios where users access the network frequently. It allows users to pass authentication without entering a username and password. MAC-based quick portal authentication is also called MAC-trigger authentication or transparent portal authentication.

A MAC binding server is required for MAC-trigger authentication. The MAC binding server records the MAC-to-account bindings of portal users for authentication. The account contains the portal authentication information of the user, including username and password.

Only IPv4 direct authentication supports MAC-based quick portal authentication.

The authentication is implemented as follows:

1. When a user accesses the network for the first time, the access device generates a MAC-trigger entry that records the user's MAC address and access interface. The user can access the network without performing portal authentication if the user's network traffic is below the free-traffic threshold.

2. When the user's network traffic reaches the threshold, the access device sends a MAC binding query to the MAC binding server.

3. The MAC binding server checks whether the MAC address of the user is bound with a portal user account.

¡ If a matching MAC-account binding exists, the MAC binding server sends the user authentication information to the access device to initiate portal authentication. The user is authenticated without entering the username and password.

- If the user fails portal authentication, an authentication failure message is returned to the user. The MAC-trigger entry of the user on the access device is deleted when the entry ages out.

- If the user passes portal authentication, the access device deletes the MAC-trigger entry of the user.

¡ If no matching MAC-account binding exists, the MAC binding server notifies the access device to perform normal portal authentication for the user.

- If the user fails portal authentication, an authentication failure message is returned to the user. The whole process is finished.

- If the user passes portal authentication, the access device sends the user's MAC address and authentication information to the MAC binding server for MAC-account binding. Additionally, the access device deletes the MAC-trigger entry of the user.

NOTE:

· For information about MAC binding server configuration, see the user manual of the server.

Portal support for NAT444

On a network where portal is used in conjunction with NAT444, portal and NAT444 cooperate as follows:

1. After a portal user passes AAA authentication and is assigned a private IP address, portal notifies NAT444 of the user login.

2. The NAT444 gateway assigns a public IP address and a port block to the portal user. Then, it sends the user private address, public address, and port block mapping to portal.

On the NAT444 gateway, if no public IP address is available to allocate to the user, portal logs out the user.

3. Portal records the mapping, and reports the mapping to the AAA server. Then, the portal user can use the public IP address and port block to access the external network.

Through the portal and NAT444 cooperation, the AAA server can obtain and maintain NAT mapping information for all portal users, which facilitates user tracing.

To use portal in conjunction with NAT444, specify the user address type as private IPv4 address in the authentication ISP domain for portal users by using the user-address-type private-ipv4 command. For more information about specifying the user address type in an ISP domain, see "Configuring AAA." For more information about NAT444, see NAT in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Restrictions and guidelines: Portal configuration

The device can redirect HTTPS requests to the portal Web server for portal authentication. During SSL connection establishment, the user browser might display a message that it cannot verify server identity by certificate. For users to perform portal authentication without checking such a message, configure an SSL server policy to request a client-trusted certificate on the device. The name of the policy must be https_redirect. For information about SSL server policy configuration, see "Configuring SSL." For information about certificate request, see "Configuring PKI."

Portal authentication through Web does not support security check for users. To implement security check, the client must be the iNode client.

Portal authentication supports NAT traversal whether it is initiated by a Web client or an iNode client. NAT traversal must be configured when the portal client is on a private network and the portal server is on a public network.

Prerequisites for portal authentication

The portal feature provides a solution for user identity authentication and security check. To complete user identity authentication, portal must cooperate with RADIUS.

Before you configure portal, you must complete the following tasks:

· The portal authentication server, portal Web server, and RADIUS server have been installed and configured correctly.

· To use the re-DHCP portal authentication mode, make sure the DHCP relay agent is enabled on the access device, and the DHCP server is installed and configured correctly.

· The portal client, access device, and servers can reach each other.

· To use the remote RADIUS server, configure usernames and passwords on the RADIUS server, and configure the RADIUS client on the access device. For information about RADIUS client configuration, see "Configuring AAA."

· To implement extended portal functions, install and configure IMC EAD. Make sure the ACLs configured on the access device correspond to the isolation ACL and the security ACL on the security policy server. For information about security policy server configuration on the access device, see "Configuring AAA." For installation and configuration about the security policy server, see IMC EAD Security Policy Help.

Configuring a remote portal authentication server

About this task

With portal authentication enabled, the device searches for a portal authentication server for a received portal request packet according to the source IP address and VPN instance information of the packet.

· If a matching portal authentication server is found, the device regards the packet valid and sends an authentication response packet to the portal authentication server. After a user logs in to the device, the user interacts with the portal authentication server as needed.

· If no matching portal authentication server is found, the device drops the packet.

Restrictions and guidelines

Do not delete a portal authentication server in use. Otherwise, users authenticated by that server cannot log out correctly.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Create a portal authentication server and enter its view.

portal server server-name

You can create multiple portal authentication servers.

3. Specify the IP address of the portal authentication server.

Enabling the captive-bypass feature

About this task

Typically, when iOS mobile devices or some Android mobile devices are connected a portal-enabled network, the device pushes the authentication page to the mobile devices.

The captive-bypass feature enables the device to push the portal authentication page to the iOS and Android devices only when the users access the Internet by using a browser. If the users do not perform authentication but press the home button to return to the desktop, the Wi-Fi connection is terminated. To maintain the Wi-Fi connection in such cases, you can enable the optimized captive-bypass feature.

When optimized captive-bypass is enabled, the portal authentication page is automatically pushed to iOS mobile devices after they connects to the network. Users can perform authentication on the page or press the home button to return to the desktop without performing authentication, and the Wi-Fi connection is not terminated.

When an iOS client is connected to a network, it automatically sends a server reachability detection packet to determine whether the Apple server is reachable. If the server is reachable, the Wi-Fi connection displays connected. If the server is not reachable, the Wi-Fi connection is terminated.

When the network condition is poor, the device cannot detect a server reachability detection packet from an iOS mobile client within the captive-bypass detection timeout time. The client cannot receive a response for the server reachability detection packet, and therefore it determines the server to be unreachable and terminates the Wi-Fi connection. To avoid Wi-Fi disconnections caused by server reachability detection failure, set a longer captive-bypass detection timeout time when the network condition is poor.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter portal Web server view.

portal web-server server-name

3. Enable the captive-pass feature.

captive-bypass [ android | ios [ optimize ] ] enable

By default, the captive-bypass feature is disabled. The device automatically pushes the portal authentication page to iOS mobile devices and some Android mobile devices when they are connected to a portal-enabled network.

4. (Optional.) Set the captive-bypass detection timeout time.

a. Return to system view.

quit

b. Set the captive-bypass detection timeout time.

portal captive-bypass optimize delay seconds

By default, the captive-bypass detection timeout time is 6 seconds.

Configuring a match rule for URL redirection

About this task

A URL redirection match rule matches HTTP or HTTPS requests by user-requested URL or User-Agent information, and redirects the matching HTTP or HTTPS requests to the specified redirection URL.

For a portal Web server, you can configure the url command and the if-match command for URL redirection. The url command redirects all HTTP or HTTPS requests from unauthenticated users to the portal Web server for authentication. The if-match command allows for flexible URL redirection by redirecting specific HTTP or HTTPS requests to specific redirection URLs.

Restrictions and guidelines

For a user to successfully access a redirection URL, configure a portal-free rule to allow HTTP or HTTPS requests destined for the redirection URL to pass. For information about configuring portal-free rules, see the portal free-rule command.

If both the url and if-match commands are executed, the if-match command takes priority to perform URL redirection.

If both portal safe-redirect and URL redirection match rules are configured, the device preferentially uses URL redirection match rules to perform URL redirection.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter portal Web server view.

portal web-server server-name

3. Configure a match rule for URL redirection.

if-match { original-url url-string redirect-url url-string [ url-param-encryption { aes | des } key { cipher | simple } string ] | user-agent string redirect-url url-string }

Configuring the local portal service features

About the local portal service

After a local portal service is configured, the device acts as the portal Web server and portal authentication server to perform portal authentication on users. The portal authentication page file is saved in the root directory of the device.

Restrictions and guidelines for configuring local portal service features

For an interface to use the local portal service, the URL of the portal Web server specified for the interface must meet the following requirements:

· The IP address in the URL must be the IP address of a Layer 3 interface (except 127.0.0.1) on the device, and the IP address must be reachable to portal clients.

· The URL must be ended with /portal/. For example: http://1.1.1.1/portal/.

You must customize the authentication pages and upload them to the device.

Customizing authentication pages

About this task

Authentication pages are HTML files. Local portal authentication requires the following authentication pages:

· Logon page

· Logon success page

· Logon failure page

· Online page

· System busy page

· Logoff success page

You must customize the authentication pages, including the page elements that the authentication pages will use, for example, back.jpg for authentication page Logon.htm.

Follow the authentication page customization rules when you edit the authentication page files.

File name rules

The names of the main authentication page files are fixed (see Table 1). You can define the names of the files other than the main authentication page files. File names and directory names are case insensitive.

Table 1 Main authentication page file names

Main authentication page	File name
Logon page	logon.htm
Logon success page	logonSuccess.htm
Logon failure page	logonFail.htm
Online page Pushed after the user gets online for online notification	online.htm
System busy page Pushed when the system is busy or the user is in the logon process	busy.htm
Logoff success page	logoffSuccess.htm

Page request rules

A local portal Web service supports only Get and Post requests.

· Get requests—Used to get the static files in the authentication pages and allow no recursion. For example, if file Logon.htm includes contents that perform Get action on file ca.htm, file ca.htm cannot include any reference to file Logon.htm.

· Post requests—Used when users submit username and password pairs, log in, and log out.

Post request attribute rules

1. Observe the following requirements when editing a form of an authentication page:

¡ An authentication page can have multiple forms, but there must be one and only one form whose action is logon.cgi. Otherwise, user information cannot be sent to the access device.

¡ The username attribute is fixed as PtUser. The password attribute is fixed as PtPwd.

¡ The value of the PtButton attribute is either Logon or Logoff, which indicates the action that the user requests.

¡ A logon Post request must contain PtUser, PtPwd, and PtButton attributes.

¡ A logoff Post request must contain the PtButton attribute.

2. Authentication pages logon.htm and logonFail.htm must contain the logon Post request.

The following example shows part of the script in page logon.htm.

<p>Password :<input type="password" name = "PtPwd" style="width:160px;height:22px" maxlength=32>

</form>

3. Authentication pages logonSuccess.htm and online.htm must contain the logoff Post request.

The following example shows part of the script in page online.htm.

</form>

Page file compression and saving rules

You must compress the authentication pages and their page elements into a standard zip file.

· The name of a zip file can contain only letters, numbers, and underscores.

· The authentication pages must be placed in the root directory of the zip file.

· Zip files can be transferred to the device through FTP or TFTP and must be saved in the root directory of the device.

Examples of zip files on the device:

<Sysname> dir

Directory of flash:

1 -rw- 1405 Feb 28 2008 15:53:20 abc1.zip

Configuring the User-Agent match string

About this task

When portal users use third-party software to perform portal authentication, the device checks the User-Agent string in portal authentication requests. If the User-Agent string does not include the match string specified on the device, users will fail portal authentication.

The User-Agent string includes hardware vendor, software operating system, browser, and search engine information. Perform this task to specify a string that can match the User-Agent information of the third-party software, so users can pass portal authentication by using that third-party software. For example, for users to pass portal authentication by following a WeChat official account, configure the User-Agent match string on the device as MicroMessenger.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Enabling portal authentication on an interface

Restrictions and guidelines

When you enable portal authentication on an interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· For portal authentication to take effect on an Ethernet interface, do not add the Ethernet interface to an aggregation group.

· Cross-subnet authentication mode (layer3) does not require Layer 3 forwarding devices between the access device and the portal authentication clients. However, if a Layer 3 forwarding device exists between the authentication client and the access device, you must use the cross-subnet portal authentication mode.

· You can enable both IPv4 portal authentication and IPv6 portal authentication on an interface.

When you configure re-DHCP portal authentication on an interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· Make sure the interface has a valid IP address before you enable re-DHCP portal authentication on the interface.

· With re-DHCP portal authentication, configure authorized ARP on the interface as a best practice to make sure only valid users can access the network. With authorized ARP configured on the interface, the interface learns ARP entries only from the users who have obtained a public address from DHCP.

· For successful re-DHCP portal authentication, make sure the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute value is the same as the device IP address specified on the portal authentication server. To configure the attribute, use the portal { bas-ip | bas-ipv6 } command.

· An IPv6 portal server does not support re-DHCP portal authentication.

Configuring a portal preauthentication domain

About this task

A portal preauthentication domain defines user attributes assigned to preauthentication portal users on a portal-enabled interface after the users obtain IP addresses. Before the preauthentication users pass portal authentication, they have limited access to the network based on the assigned user attributes (such as ACL, user profile, session group profile, and CAR). After the users pass portal authentication, they are assigned new attributes by the AAA server. After the users go offline, they are re-assigned user attributes in the preauthentication domain.

Restrictions and guidelines

The portal preauthentication domain takes effect only on portal users with IP addresses obtained through DHCP or DHCPv6.

The portal preauthentication domain does not take effect on interfaces enabled with cross-subnet portal authentication.

Make sure you specify an existing ISP domain as a portal preauthentication domain. If the specified ISP domain does not exist, the device might operate incorrectly.

You must delete a preauthentication domain (by using the undo portal [ ipv6 ] pre-auth domain command) and reconfigure it in the following situations:

· You create the ISP domain after specifying it as the preauthentication domain.

· You delete the specified ISP domain and then re-create it.

For the authorization ACL in the preauthentication domain, the following rules apply:

· If the traffic of preauthentication users matches a rule in the ACL, the device processes the traffic based on the permit or deny statement of the rule.

· If the ACL does not exist or the destination address permitted by a rule in the ACL is set to any, the device does not control user access. Users can access any network resources without passing portal authentication.

· If the ACL does not have any rules, the device allows users to access network resources only after the users pass authentication.

· If the traffic of preauthentication users does not match any rule in the ACL, the device pushes the authentication page to the users. The users can access the network resources after passing authentication.

· If the ACL contains rules that specify a source address, users might not be able to get online. Do not specify a source IPv4, IPv6, or MAC address when you configure a rule in the ACL.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter Layer 3 interface view.

Specifying a preauthentication IP address pool

About this task

You must specify a preauthentication IP address pool on a portal-enabled Layer 3 interface in the following situation:

· Portal users access the network through a subinterface of the portal-enabled Layer 3 interface.

· The subinterface does not have an IP address.

· Portal users need to obtain IP addresses through DHCP.

After a user connects to a portal-enabled interface, the user uses an IP address for portal authentication according to the following rules:

· If the interface is configured with a preauthentication IP address pool, the user uses the following IP address:

¡ If the client is configured to obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP, the user obtains an address from the specified IP address pool.

¡ If the client is configured with a static IP address, the user uses the static IP address. However, if the interface does not have an IP address, users using static IP addresses cannot pass authentication.

· If the interface has an IP address but no preauthentication IP pool specified, the user uses the static IP address or the IP address obtained from a DHCP server.

· If the interface has no IP address or preauthentication IP pool specified, the user cannot perform portal authentication.

After the user passes portal authentication, the AAA server authorizes an IP address pool for re-assigning an IP address to the user. If no authorized IP address pool is deployed, the user continues using the previous IP address.

Restrictions and guidelines

This configuration takes effect only when the direct IPv4 portal authentication is enabled on the interface.

Make sure the specified IP address pool exists and is complete. Otherwise, the user cannot obtain the IP address and cannot perform portal authentication.

If the portal user does not perform authentication or fails to pass authentication, the assigned IP address is still retained.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter Layer 3 interface view.

Specifying a portal authentication domain

About portal authentication domains

An authentication domain defines a set of authentication, authorization, and accounting policies. Each portal user belongs to an authentication domain and is authenticated, authorized, and accounted in the domain.

With an authentication domain specified on an interface, the device uses the authentication domain for AAA of portal users. This allows for flexible portal access control.

Restrictions and guidelines for specifying a portal authentication domain

The device selects the authentication domain for a portal user in this order:

1. ISP domain specified for the interface.

2. ISP domain carried in the username.

3. System default ISP domain.

If the chosen domain does not exist on the device, the device searches for the ISP domain configured to accommodate users assigned to nonexistent domains. If no such ISP domain is configured, user authentication fails. For information about ISP domains, see "Configuring AAA."

If an authorization VPN instance is specified in the authentication domain, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· Make sure the authorization VPN instance exists. If you specify a nonexistent VPN instance, users cannot come online.

· When users are online, do not delete the authorization VPN instance. Deleting the authorization VPN instance will log out the users.

For the authorization ACL in the authentication domain, the following rules apply:

· If the user traffic matches a rule in the ACL, the device processes the traffic based on the permit or deny statement of the rule.

· If the user traffic does not match any rule in the ACL, the device permits the traffic. To deny such traffic, configure the last rule in the ACL to deny all packets by using the rule deny ip command.

· If the ACL contains rules that specify a source address, users might not be able to get online. Do not specify a source IPv4, IPv6, or MAC address when you configure a rule in the ACL.

Controlling portal user access

Configuring a portal-free rule

About this task

A portal-free rule allows specified users to access specified external websites without portal authentication.

The matching items for a portal-free rule include the host name, source/destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, source MAC address, access interface, and VLAN. Packets matching a portal-free rule will not trigger portal authentication, so users sending the packets can directly access the specified external websites.

Restrictions and guidelines for configuring a portal-free rule

If you specify both a VLAN and an interface, the interface must belong to the VLAN. If the interface does not belong to the VLAN, the portal-free rule does not take effect.

You cannot configure two or more portal-free rules with the same filtering criteria. Otherwise, the system prompts that the rule already exists.

Regardless of whether portal authentication is enabled or not, you can only add or remove a portal-free rule. You cannot modify it.

The ACL used by a portal-free rule can contain only IP address object groups and IP quintuples (source and destination IP addresses, source and destination port numbers, and transport layer protocol).

Configuring an authentication source subnet

About this task

By configuring authentication source subnets, you specify that only HTTP or HTTPS packets from users on the authentication source subnets can trigger portal authentication. If an unauthenticated user is not on any authentication source subnet, the access device discards all the user's HTTP or HTTPS packets that do not match any portal-free rule.

Restrictions and guidelines

Authentication source subnets apply only to cross-subnet portal authentication.

In direct or re-DHCP portal authentication mode, a portal user and its access interface (portal-enabled) are on the same subnet. It is not necessary to specify the subnet as the authentication source subnet.

· In direct mode, the access device regards the authentication source subnet as any source IP address.

· In re-DHCP mode, the access device regards the authentication source subnet on an interface as the subnet to which the private IP address of the interface belongs.

If both authentication source subnets and destination subnets are configured on an interface, only the authentication destination subnets take effect.

You can configure multiple authentication source subnets. If the source subnets overlap, the subnet with the largest address scope (with the smallest mask or prefix) takes effect.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter Layer 3 interface view.

By default, users from any subnets must pass portal authentication.

Configuring an authentication destination subnet

About this task

By configuring authentication destination subnets, you specify that users trigger portal authentication only when they accessing the specified subnets (excluding the destination IP addresses and subnets specified in portal-free rules). Users can access other subnets without portal authentication.

Restrictions and guidelines

If both authentication source subnets and destination subnets are configured on an interface, only the authentication destination subnets take effect.

You can configure multiple authentication destination subnets. If the destination subnets overlap, the subnet with the largest address scope (with the smallest mask or prefix) takes effect.

By default, users accessing any subnets must pass portal authentication.

Configuring a portal-forbidden rule

About this task

Portal-forbidden rules are used to filter user packets from the specified sources or destined for the specified destinations. The device drops HTTP or HTTPS packets that match the portal-forbidden rules.

Restrictions and guidelines

In a portal-forbidden rule, the source and destination IP addresses must be of the same IP type, and the source and destination ports must be of the same transport protocol type.

You can configure multiple portal-forbidden rules.

If the source or destination information in a portal-free rule and that in a portal-forbidden rule overlap, the portal-forbidden rule takes effect.

If you specify a destination host name in a portal-forbidden rule, the device drops users' DNS query packets for the specified host name. In addition, if a DNS server is correctly configured on the device, the device also drops user packets destined for the IP address resolved from the specified host name. If the DNS server is not correctly configured, the rule does not take effect on user packets destined for that IP address.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a portal-forbidden rule.

IPv4:

portal forbidden-rule rule-number [ source ip { ipv4-address { mask-length | mask } | any } [ tcp tcp-port-number | udp udp-port-number ] ] destination { host-name | ip { ipv4-address { mask-length | mask } | any } [ tcp tcp-port-number | udp udp-port-number ] }

IPv6:

By default, portal-forbidden rules are configured.

Specifying port numbers of Web proxy servers

About this task

To allow HTTP or HTTPS requests proxied by Web proxy servers to trigger portal authentication, specify the port numbers of the Web proxy servers on the device. If a Web proxy server port is not specified on the device, HTTP or HTTPS requests proxied by the Web proxy server are dropped, and portal authentication cannot be triggered.

Restrictions and guidelines

Do not specify TCP port number 80 or 443 as the port numbers for Web proxy servers because 80 and 443 are port numbers reserved for portal.

You can specify a maximum of 64 Web proxy server ports for HTTP and HTTPS.

Do not specify the same Web proxy server port for HTTP and HTTPS.

If a user's browser uses the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) protocol to discover Web proxy servers, you must perform the following tasks on the device:

· Specify the port numbers of the Web proxy servers on the device.

· Configure portal-free rules to allow user packets destined for the IP address of the WPAD server to pass without authentication.

If portal users enable Web proxy in their browsers, the users must add the IP address of the portal authentication server as a proxy exception in their browsers. Then, HTTP or HTTPS packets that the users send to the portal authentication server will not be sent to Web proxy servers.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Configuring portal detection features

Configuring online detection of portal users

About this task

Use the online detection feature to quickly detect abnormal logouts of portal users. Configure ARP or ICMP detection for IPv4 portal users. Configure ND or ICMPv6 detection for IPv6 portal users.

If the device receives no packets from a portal user within the idle time, the device detects the user's online status as follows:

· ICMP or ICMPv6 detection—Sends ICMP or ICMPv6 requests to the user at configurable intervals to detect the user status.

¡ If the device receives a reply within the maximum number of detection attempts, it considers that the user is online and stops sending detection packets. Then the device resets the idle timer and repeats the detection process when the timer expires.

¡ If the device receives no reply after the maximum number of detection attempts, the device logs out the user.

· ARP or ND detection—Sends ARP or ND requests to the user and detects the ARP or ND entry status of the user at configurable intervals.

¡ If the ARP or ND entry of the user is refreshed within the maximum number of detection attempts, the device considers that the user is online and stops detection. Then the device resets the idle timer and repeats the detection process when the timer expires.

¡ If the ARP or ND entry of the user is not refreshed after the maximum number of detection attempts, the device logs out the user.

Restrictions and guidelines

ARP detection and ND detection apply only to direct and re-DHCP portal authentication. ICMP detection applies to all portal authentication modes.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

By default, online detection is disabled for portal users on an interface.

Configuring portal authentication server detection

About this task

During portal authentication, if the communication between the access device and portal authentication server is broken, new portal users are not able to log in. Online portal users are not able to log out normally.

To address this problem, the access device needs to be able to detect the reachability changes of the portal server quickly and take corresponding actions to deal with the changes.

The portal authentication server detection feature enables the device to periodically detect portal packets sent by a portal authentication server to determine the reachability of the server. If the device receives a portal packet within a detection timeout (timeout timeout) and the portal packet is valid, the device considers the portal authentication server to be reachable. Otherwise, the device considers the portal authentication server to be unreachable.

Portal packets include user login packets, user logout packets, and heartbeat packets. Heartbeat packets are periodically sent by a server. By detecting heartbeat packets, the device can detect the server's actual status more quickly than by detecting other portal packets.

Restrictions and guidelines

The portal authentication server detection feature takes effect only when the device has a portal-enabled interface.

Only the IMC portal authentication server supports sending heartbeat packets. To test server reachability by detecting heartbeat packets, you must enable the server heartbeat feature on the IMC portal authentication server.

You can configure the device to take one or more of the following actions when the server reachability status changes:

· Sending a trap message to the NMS. The trap message contains the name and current state of the portal authentication server.

Configuring portal Web server detection

About this task

A portal authentication process cannot complete if the communication between the access device and the portal Web server is broken. To address this problem, you can enable portal Web server detection on the access device.

With the portal Web server detection feature, the access device simulates a Web access process to initiate a TCP connection to the portal Web server. If the TCP connection can be established successfully, the access device considers the detection successful, and the portal Web server is reachable. Otherwise, it considers the detection to have failed.

You can configure the following detection parameters:

· Detection interval—Interval at which the device detects the server reachability.

· Maximum number of consecutive failures—If the number of consecutive detection failures reaches this value, the access device considers that the portal Web server is unreachable.

You can configure the device to take one or more of the following actions when the server reachability status changes:

· Sending a trap message to the NMS. The trap message contains the name and current state of the portal Web server.

· Sending a log message, which contains the name, the current state, and the original state of the portal Web server.

· Enabling portal fail-permit. When the portal Web server is unreachable, the portal fail-permit feature on an interface allows users on the interface to have network access. When the server recovers, it resumes portal authentication on the interface. For more information, see "Configuring the portal fail-permit feature."

Restrictions and guidelines

The portal Web server detection feature takes effect only when the URL of the portal Web server is specified and the device has a portal-enabled interface.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter portal Web server view.

Enabling DHCP packet capture

About this task

This feature enables the AC to detect the online status of portal users by capturing DHCP packets of the portal users.

When this feature is enabled, the AC captures DHCP packets between a portal user and the DHCP server and obtains the IP address lease information of the user. The AC then detects the online status of the portal user as follows:

· If the AC captures a DHCP lease renewal packet from the portal user before the lease expires, the AC determines that the portal user is online.

· If no DHCP lease renewal packet is captured before the lease expires, the AC forcibly logs out the portal user.

For more information about DHCP packets, see DHCP configuration in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

The timeout time of the DHCP packet capture timer is the same as the IP address lease time in DHCP packets. This timer resets each time a DHCP packet is captured.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Configuring portal user synchronization

About this task

Once the access device loses communication with a portal authentication server, the portal user information on the access device and that on the portal authentication server might be inconsistent after the communication resumes. To address this problem, the device provides the portal user synchronization feature. This feature is implemented by sending and detecting portal synchronization packets, as follows:

1. The portal authentication server sends the online user information to the access device in a synchronization packet at the user heartbeat interval.

The user heartbeat interval is set on the portal authentication server.

2. Upon receiving the synchronization packet, the access device compares the users carried in the packet with its own user list and performs the following operations:

¡ If a user contained in the packet does not exist on the access device, the access device informs the portal authentication server to delete the user. The access device starts the synchronization detection timer (timeout timeout) immediately when a user logs in.

¡ If the user does not appear in any synchronization packet within a synchronization detection interval, the access device considers the user does not exist on the portal authentication server and logs the user out.

Restrictions and guidelines

Portal user synchronization requires a portal authentication server to support the portal user heartbeat function. Only the IMC portal authentication server supports the portal user heartbeat function. To implement the portal user synchronization feature, you also need to configure the user heartbeat function on the portal authentication server. Make sure the user heartbeat interval configured on the portal authentication server is not greater than the synchronization detection timeout configured on the access device.

Deleting a portal authentication server on the access device also deletes the user synchronization configuration for the portal authentication server.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

By default, portal user synchronization is disabled.

Configuring portal packet attributes

Configuring the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute

About this task

If the device runs Portal 2.0, the unsolicited packets sent to the portal authentication server must carry the BAS-IP attribute. If the device runs Portal 3.0, the unsolicited packets sent to the portal authentication server must carry the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute.

After this attribute is configured, the source IP address for unsolicited notification portal packets the device sends to the portal authentication server is the configured BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 address. If the attribute is not configured, the source IP address of the portal packets is the IP address of the packet output interface.

Restrictions and guidelines

During a re-DHCP portal authentication or mandatory user logout process, the device sends portal notification packets to the portal authentication server. For the authentication or logout process to complete, make sure the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute is the same as the device IP address specified on the portal authentication server.

You must configure the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute on a portal authentication-enabled interface if the following conditions are met:

· The portal authentication server is an IMC server.

· The portal device IP address specified on the portal authentication server is not the IP address of the portal packet output interface.

Configuring Web redirect

About Web redirect

Web redirect is a simplified portal feature. With Web redirect, a user does not perform portal authentication but is directly redirected to the specified URL on the first Web access attempt in a browser. After the specified redirect interval, the user is redirected from the visiting website to the specified URL again.

Web redirect can provide ISPs with extended services. For example, the ISPs can place advertisements and publish information on the redirected webpage.

On interfaces where Web redirect is enabled, you can configure the Web redirect track feature to track the link state and signal information for an interface. This feature pushes a destination-unreachable notification webpage to users who attempt to access the Internet when it detects the tracked interface is down or receives 2G signal or no signal. In the current software version, this feature can track signal information only for Etherchannel interfaces.

Configuring Web redirect on an interface

Restrictions and guidelines

The Web redirect feature takes effect only on HTTP packets that use the default port number 80.

On Etherchannel interfaces, both Web redirect and portal authentication can be enabled at the same time. On non-Etherchannel interfaces, Web redirect does not work when both Web redirect and portal authentication are enabled.

To use the device URL as the Web redirect URL or allow users to successfully access the device URL, you must enable the HTTP service. To enable the HTTP service, use the ip http enable command.

The Web redirect track feature applies only to IPv4 users. The Web redirect track feature requires that the webpage to which the redirect URL points must be configured on the device. The redirect URL is specified by the web-redirect url command.

When Web redirect, Web redirect track, and portal authentication are all enabled on an interface, the device redirects users on the interface as follows:

· The device redirects the first HTTP request of a user to the specified URL. Then, the device redirects the next HTTP request of the user to the portal authentication page. After the user logs out, the user is redirected to the specified URL again at the first Web access.

· After the specified redirect interval, a user is redirected to the specified URL regardless of whether the user is online or not. This process does not cause online users to be offline.

Portal configuration examples

Example: Configuring direct portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 6, the host is directly connected to the router (the access device). The host is assigned a public IP address either manually or through DHCP. An IMC server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server. In this example, the IMC server runs IMC PLAT 7.1 (E0303) and IMC UAM 7.1 (E0304).

Configure direct portal authentication, so the host can access only the portal server before passing the authentication and access other network resources after passing the authentication.

Example: Configuring re-DHCP portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 12, the host is directly connected to the router (the access device). The host obtains an IP address through the DHCP server. A portal server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server.

Configure re-DHCP portal authentication. Before passing the authentication, the host is assigned a private IP address. After passing the authentication, the host gets a public IP address and can access network resources.

Figure 12 Network diagram

‌

Restrictions and guidelines

· For re-DHCP portal authentication, configure a public address pool (20.20.20.0/24) and a private address pool (10.0.0.0/24) on the DHCP server. (Details not shown.)

· For re-DHCP portal authentication:

¡ The router must be configured as a DHCP relay agent.

¡ The portal-enabled interface must be configured with a primary IP address (a public IP address) and a secondary IP address (a private IP address).

For information about DHCP relay agent configuration, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

· Make sure the IP address of the portal device added on the portal server is the public IP address (20.20.20.1) of the router's interface connecting the host. The private IP address range for the IP address group associated with the portal device is the private subnet 10.0.0.0/24 where the host resides. The public IP address range for the IP address group is the public subnet 20.20.20.0/24.

Example: Configuring cross-subnet portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 13, Router A supports portal authentication. The host accesses Router A through Router B. A portal server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server.

Configure Router A for cross-subnet portal authentication. Before passing the authentication, the host can access only the portal server. After passing the authentication, the user can access other network resources.

Figure 13 Network diagram

‌

Restrictions and guidelines

Make sure the IP address of the portal device added on the portal authentication server is the IP address (20.20.20.1) of the router's interface connecting the host. The IP address group associated with the portal device is the subnet of the host (8.8.8.0/24).

Procedure

1. Configure the RADIUS server and the portal server correctly to provide authentication and accounting functions. (Details not shown.)

2. Assign IP addresses to interfaces and make sure the host, the routers, and the servers can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure a RADIUS scheme:

Example: Configuring extended re-DHCP portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 15, the host is directly connected to the router (the access device). The host obtains an IP address through the DHCP server. A portal server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server.

Configure extended re-DHCP portal authentication. Before passing portal authentication, the host is assigned a private IP address. After passing portal identity authentication, the host obtains a public IP address and accepts security check. If the host fails the security check, it can access only subnet 192.168.0.0/24. After passing the security check, the host can access other network resources.

Figure 15 Network diagram

‌

Restrictions and guidelines

· For re-DHCP portal authentication, configure a public address pool (20.20.20.0/24) and a private address pool (10.0.0.0/24) on the DHCP server. (Details not shown.)

· For re-DHCP portal authentication:

¡ The router must be configured as a DHCP relay agent.

¡ The portal-enabled interface must be configured with a primary IP address (a public IP address) and a secondary IP address (a private IP address).

For information about DHCP relay agent configuration, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Example: Configuring portal server detection and portal user synchronization

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 17, the host is directly connected to the router (the access device). The host is assigned a public IP address either manually or through DHCP. An IMC server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server. In this example, the portal server runs IMC 7.1 (E0303) and IMC UAM 7.1 (E0304).

Configure direct portal authentication on the router, so the host can access only the portal server before passing the authentication and access other network resources after passing the authentication.

Configure the router to do the following:

· Detect the reachability state of the portal authentication server.

· Send log messages upon state changes.

· Disable portal authentication when the authentication server is unreachable.

· Synchronize portal user information with the portal server periodically.

The Up status of the portal authentication server indicates that the portal authentication server is reachable. If the access device detects that the portal authentication server is unreachable, the Status field in the command output displays Down. The access device generates a server unreachable log "Portal server newpt turns down from up." and disables portal authentication on the access interface, so the host can access the external network without authentication.

Example: Configuring cross-subnet portal authentication for MPLS L3VPNs

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 23, the PE device Router A provides portal authentication for the host in VPN 1. A portal server in VPN 3 acts as the portal authentication server, portal Web server, and RADIUS server.

Configure cross-subnet portal authentication on Router A, so the host can access network resources after passing identity authentication.

Example: Configuring re-DHCP portal authentication with a preauthentication domain

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 25, the host is directly connected to the router (the access device). The host obtains an IP address through the DHCP server. A portal server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server.

Configure re-DHCP portal authentication. Before passing the authentication, the host is assigned a private IP address and can access only the subnet 192.168.0.0/24. After passing the authentication, the host gets a public IP address and can access other network resources.

Figure 25 Network diagram

‌

Restrictions and guidelines

· For re-DHCP portal authentication, configure a public address pool (20.20.20.0/24) and a private address pool (10.0.0.0/24) on the DHCP server. (Details not shown.)

· For re-DHCP portal authentication:

¡ The router must be configured as a DHCP relay agent.

¡ The portal-enabled interface must be configured with a primary IP address (a public IP address) and a secondary IP address (a private IP address).

For information about DHCP relay agent configuration, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

· If you have configured a preauthentication IP address pool on portal-enabled interfaces, configure a DHCP relay address pool with the same name on the device. For the DHCP relay address pool, specify the subnet address where the unauthenticated users reside (with the export-router keyword specified) and the DHCP server address.

Procedure

1. Configure the RADIUS server and the portal server correctly to provide authentication and accounting functions. (Details not shown.)

2. Assign IP addresses to interfaces and make sure the host, the router, and the servers can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

Example: Configuring MAC-based quick portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 27, the host accesses the network through the router. The host is assigned a public IP address either manually or through DHCP. An IMC server acts as a portal authentication server, a portal Web server, and a MAC binding server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication and accounting server. In this example, the IMC server runs IMC 7.1 (E0303) and IMC UAM 7.1 (E0303).

Configure direct portal authentication, so the host can access only the portal Web server before passing the authentication and can access other network resources after passing the authentication.

1. Assign IP addresses to interfaces and make sure the host, the router, and the servers can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure a RADIUS scheme:

# Create a RADIUS scheme named rs1 and enter its view.

<Router> system-view

[Router] radius scheme rs1

# Specify the primary authentication server and primary accounting server, and configure the keys for communication with the servers.

[Router-radius-rs1] primary authentication 192.168.0.112

[Router-radius-rs1] primary accounting 192.168.0.112

[Router-radius-rs1] key authentication simple radius

[Router-radius-rs1] key accounting simple radius

# Exclude the ISP domain name from the username sent to the RADIUS server.

[Router-radius-rs1] user-name-format without-domain

[Router-radius-rs1] quit

# Enable RADIUS session control.

[Router] radius session-control enable

3. Configure an authentication domain:

# Create an ISP domain named dm1 and enter its view.

[Router] domain dm1

# Configure AAA methods for the ISP domain.

[Router-isp-dm1] authentication portal radius-scheme rs1

[Router-isp-dm1] authorization portal radius-scheme rs1

[Router-isp-dm1] accounting portal radius-scheme rs1

[Router-isp-dm1] quit

[Router] domain default enable dm1

4. Configure portal authentication:

# Configure a portal authentication server.

[Router] portal server newpt

[Router-portal-server-newpt] ip 192.168.0.111 key simple portal

[Router-portal-server-newpt] port 50100

[Router-portal-server-newpt] quit

# Configure a portal Web server.

[Router] portal web-server newpt

[Router-portal-websvr-newpt] url http://192.168.0.111:8080/portal

[Router-portal-websvr-newpt] quit

# Enable direct authentication on GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.

[Router] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] portal enable method direct

# Specify the portal Web server newpt on GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] portal apply web-server newpt

# Configure the BAS-IP as 2.2.2.1 for portal packets sent from GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 to the portal authentication server.

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] portal bas-ip 2.2.2.1

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

5. Configure MAC-based quick portal authentication:

# Create the MAC binding server mts.

[Router] portal mac-trigger-server mts

# Set the free-traffic threshold for portal users to 1024000 bytes.

[Router-portal-mac-trigger-server-mts] free-traffic threshold 1024000

# Specify the IP address of the MAC binding server as 192.168.0.111.

[Router-portal-mac-trigger-server-mts] ip 192.168.0.111

[Router-portal-mac-trigger-server-mts] quit

# Specify the MAC binding server mts on GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.

[Router] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] portal apply mac-trigger-server mts

[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

Verifying the configuration

# Display information about the MAC binding server.

[Router] display portal mac-trigger-server name mts

Troubleshooting portal

No portal authentication page is pushed for users

Symptom

When a user is redirected to the IMC portal authentication server, no portal authentication page or error message is prompted for the user. The login page is blank.

Analysis

The key configured on the portal access device and that configured on the portal authentication server are inconsistent. As a result, packet verification fails, and the portal authentication server refuses to push the authentication page.

Solution

Use the display this command in portal authentication server view on the access device to check whether a key is configured for the portal authentication server.

· If no key is configured, configure the right key.

· If a key is configured, use the ip or ipv6 command in the portal authentication server view to correct the key, or correct the key configured for the access device on the portal authentication server.

Cannot log out portal users on the access device

Symptom

You cannot use the portal delete-user command on the access device to log out a portal user, but the portal user can log out by clicking the Disconnect button on the portal authentication client.

Analysis

When you execute the portal delete-user command on the access device to log out a user, the access device sends an unsolicited logout notification message to the portal authentication server. The destination port number in the logout notification is the listening port number of the portal authentication server configured on the access device. If this listening port number is not the actual listening port number configured on the server, the server cannot receive the notification. As a result, the server does not log out the user.

When a user uses the Disconnect button on the authentication client to log out, the portal authentication server sends an unsolicited logout request message to the access device. The access device uses the source port in the logout request as the destination port in the logout ACK message. As a result, the portal authentication server can definitely receive the logout ACK message and log out the user.

Solution

1. Use the display portal server command to display the listening port of the portal authentication server configured on the access device.

2. Use the portal server command in system view to change the listening port number to the actual listening port of the portal authentication server.

Cannot log out portal users on the RADIUS server

Symptom

The access device uses the IMC server as the RADIUS server to perform identity authentication for portal users. You cannot log out the portal users on the RADIUS server.

Analysis

The IMC server uses session control packets to send disconnection requests to the access device. On the access device, the listening UDP port for session control packets is disabled by default. Therefore, the access device cannot receive the portal user logout requests from the RADIUS server.

Solution

On the access device, execute the radius session-control enable command in system view to enable the RADIUS session control function.

Users logged out by the access device still exist on the portal authentication server

Symptom

After you log out a portal user on the access device, the user still exists on the portal authentication server.

Analysis

When you execute the portal delete-user command on the access device to log out a user, the access device sends an unsolicited logout notification to the portal authentication server. If the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 address carried in the logout notification is different from the portal device IP address specified on the portal authentication server, the portal authentication server discards the logout notification. When sending of the logout notifications times out, the access device logs out the user. However, the portal authentication server does not receive the logout notification successfully, and therefore it regards the user is still online.

Solution

Configure the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute on the interface enabled with portal authentication. Make sure the attribute value is the same as the portal device IP address specified on the portal authentication server.

Re-DHCP portal authenticated users cannot log in successfully

Symptom

The device performs re-DHCP portal authentication for users. A user enters the correct username and password, and the client successfully obtains the private and public IP addresses. However, the authentication result for the user is failure.

Analysis

When the access device detects that the client IP address is changed, it sends an unsolicited portal packet to notify of the IP change to the portal authentication server. The portal authentication server notifies of the authentication success only after it receives the IP change notification from both the access device and the client.

If the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 address carried in the portal notification packet is different from the portal device IP address specified on the portal authentication server, the portal authentication server discards the portal notification packet. As a result, the portal authentication server considers that the user has failed the authentication.
