Does the Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) support Web Authentication for guest users?
A. Web Authentication is supported on all Cisco WLCs. Web authentication is a Layer 3 authentication method used to authenticate users with simple authentication credentials. No encryption is involved. Complete these steps in order to enable this feature: • From the GUI, click the WLAN menu. • Click a WLAN. • Go to the Security tab and choose Layer 3. • Check the Web Policy box and choose Authentication. • Click Apply in order to save the changes. • In order to create a database on the WLC against which to authenticate users, go to the Security menu on the GUI, choose Local Net User, and complete these actions: • Define the guest username and password for the guest to use in order to log on. These values are case sensitive. • Choose the WLAN ID that you use. Note: For a more detailed configuration, refer to the Wireless LAN Controller Web Authentication Configuration Example.
