2.5 Captive Portal
LAN users can gain internet access via web portal authentication with the DWC.
Also referred to as Run-Time Authentication, a Captive Portal is ideal for a web
café scenario where users initiate HTTP connection requests for web access but are
not interested in accessing any LAN services. Firewall policies underneath will
define which users require authentication for HTTP access, and when a matching
user request is made the DWC will intercept the request and prompt for a username /
password. The login credentials are compared against the RunTimeAuth users in
user database prior to granting HTTP access.
