Introduction

This document provides examples for configuring direct portal authentication in a wireless network where APs directly forward client traffic.

Prerequisites

This document applies to Comware 7-based access controllers and access points. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the access controllers and access points.

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of AAA, portal, and WLAN.

Example: Configuring local forwarding mode direct portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1:

·     The AP and the client obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server.

·     The AP directly forwards traffic of the client.

·     The IMC server acts as the portal authentication server, portal Web server, and RADIUS server.

·     The AC performs direct portal authentication on clients. Before passing portal authentication, the client can access only the portal Web server. After passing portal authentication, the client can access other network resources.

·     The client user can access network resources on any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication.

·     The IMC server can dynamically change authorization information for the user and can log out the user.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

For users to access the portal Web server successfully, configure a portal-free rule to permit traffic destined for the portal Web server.

To allow an authenticated user to access network resources on any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication, enable the portal roaming feature.

In wireless networks where the AP forwards client traffic, the AC does not have ARP entries for clients. Therefore, the AC cannot check the validity of portal clients by using ARP entries. To ensure that valid users can perform portal authentication, you must enable wireless client validity check on the AC.

To avoid possible authentication failure caused by frequent logins and logouts of portal clients in a short time, disable the Rule ARP entry feature.

To allow the RADIUS server to modify user authorization information and log out users, enable the RADIUS session-control feature.

To add GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of the AP to the local forwarding VLAN (VLAN 200), edit the AP's configuration file and upload it to the AC's storage medium.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure direct portal authentication, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel to specify an AP.

·     The portal authentication server type and portal Web server type configured on the AC must be the same as the types of the servers actually used. In this example, the server type is CMCC.

·     By default, the portal Web server URL redirected to users does not carry parameters. You can configure the parameters to be carried in the redirection URL as needed.

Procedures

Configuring IMC

This example uses the IMC server to describe the RADIUS server and portal server configuration. The IMC server runs on IMC PLAT 7.1(E0303p13), IMC EIA 7.1(F0302p08), and IMC EIP 7.1(F0302p08).

Configuring the RADIUS server

1.     Add an access device:

a.     Log in to IMC and click the User tab.

b.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Device Management > Access Device.

c.     Click Add.

The Add Access Device page opens.

d.     Configure the shared key as radius.

The shared key must be the same as that configured for the RADIUS server on the AC.

e.     In the Device List area, click Add Manually to open the Add Access Device Manually page. Enter the start IP address 2.2.2.1 and click OK.

f.     Use the default settings for other parameters on the Add Access Device page.

g.     Click OK.

Figure 2 Adding an access device

 

2.     Add an access policy:

a.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Policy.

b.     Click Add to open the Add Access Policy page.

c.     Enter the policy name, select the service group, and use the default settings for other parameters.

d.     Click OK.

Figure 3 Adding an access policy

 

3.     Add an access service:

a.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Service.

b.     Click Add to open the Add Access Service page.

c.     Enter the service name, select the access policy configured in the previous step as the default access policy, and use the default settings for other parameters.

d.     Click OK.

Figure 4 Adding an access service

 

4.     Add an access user:

a.     From the navigation tree, select Access User > All Access Users.

b.     Click Add to open the Add Access User page.

c.     Select a user from the User Name list. If the user does not exist, click Add User to add a user.

d.     Enter the account name.

e.     Enter and confirm the password.

f.     Use the default settings for other parameters.

g.     Click OK.

Configuring the portal server

1.     Configure the portal authentication service:

a.     Log in to IMC and click the User tab.

b.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Portal Service > Server.

c.     Configure the portal server parameters.

This example uses the default settings.

d.     Click OK.

c.     Enter the IP group name.

d.     Enter the start IP address and end IP address of the IP group.

Make sure the client IP address is in the IP group.

e.     Select a service group.

This example uses the default group Ungrouped.

f.     Select Normal from the Action list.

g.     Click OK.

3.     Add a portal device:

a.     Select User Access Policy > Portal Service > Device from the navigation tree to open the portal device configuration page.

b.     Click Add to open the Add Device page.

c.     Enter the device name NAS.

d.     Select CMCC 1.0 from the Version list.

e.     Enter the IP address of the AC's interface connected to the client.

f.     Select whether to support server heartbeat and user heartbeat functions.

In this example, select No for both Support Server Heartbeat and Support User Heartbeat.

g.     Enter the key, which must be the same as that configured on the AC.

h.     Select Directly Connected from the Access Method list.

i.     Use the default settings for other parameters.

j.     Click OK.

After passing authentication, you can access other network resources.

# Display the online portal user information on the AC.

[AC] display portal user all
