Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(4)XR

To configure this optional task, use the following commands in global configuration mode, as needed. 
The authentication is activated when a new session begins.

Using a proxy list allows the WAP gateway to determine which URL requests should be handled directly 
and which should be forwarded to a specified HTTP proxy server. The gateway searches through the 
proxy list in the order in which each filter request is entered when processing a request for a page. The 
gateway tests a page request against each line until a match is found. If no match is found the page 
request is serviced directly. An asterisk (*) wildcard can be used in the proxy filter entries.

Proxy servers are servers that will process information for another server and are sometimes used for 
security reasons to keep external requests from reaching internal servers. Proxy servers can also help 
ease performance issues because they take some of the load off other servers.

Router(config)# wap authentication service url

Configures customer-supplied user authentication 
by redirecting the browser to the specified URL. 
The URL normally points to a customer-supplied 
user authentication application where username 
and password information is entered and verified.

The authentication scheme cannot be used 
when the gateway is operating the 
unsecured connectionless WSP protocol 
between the wireless device and the 
gateway because no session context is 
maintained between requests. If the user 
authentication feature is being used, the 
gateway should operate one or a 
combination of the co, secure-cl, and 
secure-co protocol stack options.

Router(config)# wap authentication completed url

Specifies a URL to be accessed by the browser to 
indicate to the gateway that the customer-supplied 
user authentication has validated the user. The 
gateway will detect that the URL was accessed and 
treat the session as authenticated.

Router(config)# wap authentication prefix url

Specifies a URL prefix to allow certain pages to be 
displayed that are related to the authentication 
process, for example, a screen with a corporate 
logo. The gateway processes requests on an 
unauthenticated session provided that the URL 
begins with this prefix. Other page requests will be 
redirected to the URL specified by the wap 
authentication service command.

Router(config)# wap authentication timeout seconds

Specifies an interval (in seconds) after which the 
user is forced to reauthenticate.
