Important Upgrade Note
After you upgrade to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7E, the WebAuth success page behavior is different from
the behavior seen in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3.X SE. After a successful authentication on the WebAuth
login page, the original requested URL opens in a pop-up window and not on the parent page. Therefore,
we recommend that you upgrade the Web Authentication bundle so that the bundle is in the format that
is used by the AireOS Wireless LAN Controllers.
