Custom Web Auth Splash Pages

I've seen it menitoned in a few places that there are sample web auth splash pages located on the WLC that can be uploaded and modified. I've also hear that there are some sample pages on Cisco's website, but I am unable to find them in either location. How do I access these sample pages?

Jason,
The sample web-auth bundle is located in the same location as the download for the controller code.

there is a link there for the Webauth bundle

WLC 5508 Web Auth Splash Page: Is it possible to place a download?

Hi,
I know it is possible to create custom web auth splash pages on the WLC 5508. Is it also possible to embedd a small document (less than 1MB) that users can download directly from the controller? I need this for providing the terms of use for the Guest WLAN.
Thanks
Michael

It could be done, but you will want to stay within the limits of the WebAuth bundle size (~ <10MB I believe). This shouldn't be a problem considering a .doc size, but I have to ask the same question. Why would you want to do this as opposed to just putting your terms of use inline to the page as just text/html? Maybe there is a good reason, but I can't really think of any scenario. Feel free to elaborate.

Cisco ISE web auth Splash page

Was wondering if the splash page offered by Cisco ISE can be customized, or if it's necessary to redirect to an External server?
Currently using a downloaded web auth pass-through splash page setup for guest access on a 5508 WLC, but have been asked to move this feature off the WLC and onto the ISE and then customize the page with company logo's and a couple graphics.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance...

Yes, but you will definitely need ISE 1.3. When creating the guest portal in ISE you would select the "Hotspot Guest Portal" option. This allows guest users to just agree to an AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) and then get Wi-Fi access.
And yes, you can also perform posture assessment:

WEB-AUTH Splash Page

Hi All,
I've got a very basic web authentication page working but need to include a CHECK BOX to verify a user has read the T&C's. Got the checkbox to display but need the script code to disable (when not checked) either username/password input or the submit button. Any of you bright guy's managed to do this or anything similar.
Web splash attached.
Thank for any replies,
Jay

Guy's sorted it
if(!document.getElementById('agree').checked){
     alert('Please agree to the terms and conditions.');
     return false;
   }else{
   var link = document.location.href;
      var searchString = "redirect=";
      var equalIndex = link.indexOf(searchString);
      var redirectUrl = ""; if(!document.getElementById('agree').checked){
     alert('Please agree to the terms and conditions.');
     return false;
   }else{
   var link = document.location.href;
      var searchString = "redirect=";
      var equalIndex = link.indexOf(searchString);
      var redirectUrl = "";
Thanks anyway!

Having trouble with custom web auth page on 4404

Hi all
I am having trouble with a custom web auth page on my controller, we have edited the original file, but when we click login it goes to page cannot be displayed and it doesnt redirect to the page I want, however when I close the window and reopen it has already authenticated me.
Has anyone got a copy of some working html code I can use ?
cheers

There is sample Web Authentication bundle avaiable for download from cisco.com. if you go to the software download page and go to Wireless->Standalone Controllers->4404 you should see a link for Wireless Lan Web Authentication Bundle.
Its the same bundle whether you have a WiSM, 4404 or 2100

WLC 4404 5.1.151.0 - custom web-auth bundle

Ultimately the user needs to see a custom "splash page" without having to authenticate. I have successfully installed a custom web-auth bundle that appears when the WLAN Web Policy is enabled, but without any authentication, there is no access to the outside.
Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible in some other way?

You will not be able to do this unless you use some 3rd party hotspot utility. The main reason you should have an accept button is to be able to display a terms and conditions for users to read if they wish. This will protect you from an legal troubles. You can try to write a script on the html page (you can keep the page blank and hide everything) that will activate the accept button, that way you can redirect them to your web page.
Try to add this to your html page:
setTimeout("submitAction()",20);
Hope this helps... just make sure you keep you html page blank.... by setting the background and text to white or any color of your choice.

WLC Custom Web Auth Bundle sample .tar file is not on WCS

The WLC documentation would make it appear (or maybe previously) you should download a sample web auth bundle code from the WCS Templates. I was never able to find a sample .tar file on the WCS 7.0.172.0 templates.
However I found on Cisco.com under Support > Downloads > Products >Wireless> Wireless LAN Controller Standalone Controllers> Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controllers > Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller > Wireless Lan Controller Web Authentication Bundle-1.0.2 > webauth_bundle-1.0.2.zip
It was updated in June 2011, some pretty good sample html code.
The readme.html in the sample webauth_bundle-1.0.2.zip file has been very helpful , almost as good as the suppport community web page on custom web auth.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13954

WCS config guide 7.0.172 is correct
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/temp.html#wp1129979
The bundle in WCS is downloaded through :
configure->controller
"select a command"-> download customized webauth bundle.
Just tested it and it was there.
The one on cisco.com is better though

Customized Web-Auth Bundle

Hi
I am trying to upload a customized web-auth bundle to a WLC 5508 and having some issues.
I have downloaded the web-auth bundle from Cisco and used this as a template to create the web pages.
I seem to recall that there is only a couple of Windows tools that you can use to TAR the file such as TUGZIP and IZARC. Anyway I have tried both and I still cannot get the file to extract. I have tried to strip the file out so that I only send up the login.html page and even this does not work.
I am using a software release 7.0.220.0
The error message I receive when I do a TFTP is
Error extracting webauth files.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg:
I hope you find the answer here:
You can compress the page and image files used for displaying a web authentication login page into a.tar file for download to a controller. These files are known as the webauth bundle. The maximum allowed size of the files in their uncompressed state is 1 MB. When the .tar file is downloaded from a local TFTP server, it enters the controller's file system as an untarred file.
Note If you load a webauth bundle with a .tar compression application that is not GNU compliant, the controller cannot extract the files in the bundle and the following error messages appear: "Extracting error" and "TFTP transfer failed." Therefore, we recommend that you use an application that complies with GNU standards, such as PicoZip, to compress the .tar file for the webauth bundle.
Reference: http://tiny.cc/rbqbfw
So double check the size and tarring utility.
Try to use WinRar or 7Zip if the tarring format is the issue.

2013 Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users

Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users
I have created a master page in the root site collection for a subsite I am developing. I created content types and custom page layouts for the pages within the subsite.
I used the snippet tool in the design manager to create web parts and page field markup which I copied into the custom layout HTML pages in the root site collection. For instance I have an image viewer web part that I place there to serve as a section title.
The problem is that I can see all these customer layout page parts no problem but my users cannot. This leads me to believe its permissions, I am site owner of both the subsite and root site collection.
The users that cannot see the web parts are site members of the site and restricted read users on the root site collection (where the layouts are stored).
What gives I'm finding it hard to understand why a snipet generated web part wouldn't show in all pages created from that layout page.
Any help would be appreciated, Havent found anything on this issue online. weird.

It is a permission issue indeed. Fix is simple, make sure you check out the page layout page, then check it back in as published version.

WLC Customized Web Auth

can i have a customized web auth portal loaded into the WLC? or i need to have an external server and load the customized web auth.

Here is a link
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282600534&flowid=7012&softwareid=282791507&release=1.0.2&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

Web-Auth Admin Page not loading

I have a WLC 2504 Controller which is set up for guest wireless using the Web-Auth feature / Lobby Ambassador.
When I web browse to the Controller and enter my credentials no page is displayed.
The log file displays the following error:
#CLI-3-LOGIN_FAILED: cliutil.c:632 Login failed. User:lobby-admin, Service type:11. unknown service type.
However when I run a debug aaa events I see the following event that the user passed authentication.
*emWeb: Mar 17 18:54:53.120: Authentication succeeded for lobby-admin
The wireless controller version 7.6.130.0
There is genuinely nothing fancy about the set up and done these loads of times.
I have tried this with Google Chrome, IE and Firefox using both HTTPS and HTTP and it's still exactly the same problem.
Regards
Greg

Which authentication protocol do you want use and does the request from the WLC hit the correct policy on the authentication server?
If you want to use radius as the authentication protocol you need to return the radius "Service-Type" attribute with value "Callback Administrative" for a lobby admin user. If you go with tacacs you need to use role based authentication. For example "role1=ALL" gives the user access to all the tabs in the GUI.

Custom Web Auth - Missing "Submit" Button

I have scoured every topic I can get my hands on here at NetPro regarding custom web authentication. I am currently supporting a customer that MUST use a custom web page for two reasons:
1. Cosmetically, and rightfully so, they would like to use their own logo. Well, why not just upload the custom image, you say? See point 2...
2. Their custom AUP is beyond the allowed 2047 characters in the default template.
So I used the default internal template for a test login, and viewed the source to grab the HTML code. I know how to read HTML, so I began commenting out the sidebar, text, and headers that I didn't want. I then inserted the custom logo and AUP text. Visually, the page is fine. However, when I preview the page, the "Submit" button is completely missing. This is true both locally, as well as when it is uploaded to the controller. I also uploaded from the controller the 'loginscript.js' file by selecting file type 'configuration' and inputting the name 'loginscript.js'. I am including that information as well because I know other people have posted asking how to get that, and I haven't seen anyone respond with such instructions. I figured it out on my own after trial and error. If it can be obtained via WCS, it would be nice if someone would post that (other than the same method I used, simply using WCS as the management tool instead of direct controller access). My controller is running code 4.1.185.0, same as my customer's controller. I modified the reference for the javascript source from src="./loginscript.js" to simply src="loginscript.js" because I am putting the script and the login.html file in the same directory. If there is a different directory structure required, I haven't found any documentation saying so other than another NetPro post indicating "Web Authentication_files" folder (whatever that means)? I also noticed that some folks are saying that such a page would have to be run on an External server. If so, why?
Regards,
Scott

Web authentication files are stored in Web Authentication_files directory which controllers can recognize. . If you want to use a different directory it is used on External Web server so that there is no conflct in the storage location.

Cannot connect to web auth login page

Controller is vWLC 7.4, AP is 2600. Browser gets successfully redirected to 1.1.1.1, so DNS appears to work. However 1.1.1.1 does not respond. Wireshark in the client shows SYN frames but no response. I tried various debugs but nothing is shown on the WLC when the client attempts to reach the login page. 1.1.1.1 is not used in the local network and ends up at the default route. WLAN operates in central mode.
The browser works when web auth is disabled, but when enabled in either "authentication" or "passthrough" mode any attempts gets redirected to 1.1.1.1 and times out at that point. Telnet to 1.1.1.1:443 failed also.
Same on two different clients using different OS versions.

I've tested it in two very different production VLANs having different DHCP servers. Any client connected to those VLANs, whether by Wifi or Ethernet, gets an IP address and can work normally. The Wifi client also works fine when L3 web policy is disabled. A client connected via AP successfully gets an IP address in any case. DNS resolution has been verified and the redirection to 1.1.1.1 also works. It's just the connection to 1.1.1.1 which fails, everything else up to this point appears to work.
BTW: Is there a way to test the availability of the authentication web server on the WLC, locally? I can ping 1.1.1.1 successfully, but this only verifies the interface, not the web server. Normally I'd try a telnet to 1.1.1.1:443, but did not find anything similar on the WLC.

How to add a custom web apps root page?

I saw in Jan 2013 System Update the following:
"Render a custom page when accessing the root URL of a Web App. For example, if you have a “blog” Web App, the items can be made accessible at /blog/my-blog-post, and you’ll have the ability to customize the /blog page"
Could someone point me in the correct direction for instructions on how to make use of this feature.
Couldn't appear to find a link from the Blog release notes to anything, and also tried trawling through support and forums for a suitable post.
Closest I found was one about using sub-folders for web app items.
I've tried adding a page in website admin, with the same URL as the web app, but it simply throws an error as it clashes with Web App url.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike.
Because a folder can have a index.html Web apps in the past you could not access that ability. You had to make a page and you could not SEO call it the same as your web app.
SO
Your web app is called Blog.
You can now make a folder in your root called Blog.
In that folder you can create a page and give it a url of index.html
Now when you access the a web app directly - www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp or www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp/index/html you will access that index page.
You can also put other pages under that folder if you want too.

Web Auth Page

Does anyone have a good resource to create custom web auth pages? I've modified the bundles from Cisco's website, but I am a terrible web designer. Just curious if anyone knows of a program to make these modifications easy for someone who doesn't have this skill set.

I use Microsoft Expressions, but I don't know if you call that drag and drop, You have a split window so you can see the code along with the browser. This way you can actually type on the browser preview and it will generate the code and vice versa. Here are some others, but might not be free:
