6. In the Shared Secret text box, type the password for encrypting the 

information exchanged between the Summit WM Switch and the external 
Captive Portal server.

be directed before the authentication.

8. To save your changes, click Save. 

By default, a new WM-AD with SSID network assignment type is assigned None 
authentication. A SSID WM-AD with this set-up circumvents all authentication 
mechanisms and the Summit WM Switch accepts all wireless devices without any 
authentication.

However, even with None authentication option, you can still control access to the 
network by defining appropriate filtering rules for Non-authenticated filters. For 
more information, see 

.

None authentication does not mean that no authentication will take place. 
Instead, the default filter is applied for the authentication. For more information, 
see 

To configure None authentication:

1. From the main menu, click WM Access Domain Configuration. The WM 

Access Domain Configuration screen is displayed.

2. In the left pane, select the SSID WM-AD for which you want to configure the 

authentication mechanism. The Topology tab is displayed.

3. Click the Auth & Acct tab. 

4. Click Configure Captive Portal. The Captive Portal Configuration screen 

is displayed.

5. Select the No Captive Portal Support option. 

6. To save your changes, click Save. 

Note: In order to control network access of the wireless device users on this WM-AD, 
you must define appropriate rules in Default filter.
The rules in the Default filter should be very restrictive when you use None 
authentication mechanism.
You must configure the final rule in the Default filter a deny all rule.
