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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Loading web auth bundle for pass through

    I have created a web page using the web auth template that I downloaded from Cisco.  Am I just supposed to upload the TAR file that I created from the wap folder or do I have to upload the entire bundle that I downloaded from Cisco created as a TAR file?
    Thank you.
    I have attached the files I am using and cannot get them to load on the web browser when I click on preview.  The login.tar file loads onto the controller with no problem and reports succesful installation.
    Seth

    You need to use a Linux/unix box or else on windows you can use 7-zip, pico zip or power archiver.
    Per this doc
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.2/configuration/guide/cg_user_accts.html#wp1183650
    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.

  • 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.

  • Web Auth Type: Customized(downloaded) Redirect URL after login not working.

             5508WLC as anchor controller with WLC1 and WLC2 with WCS. I have 2 public ssids set up to go directly to the internet.
    Everything is working as it should.  I downloaded the web auth bundle from Cisco and  will just use a disclaimer page and then if the user clicks on the accept button they will be redirected to our company web page, and then they can get out to the internet.
    I have edited the aup.html and login.html to say what I want it to.  I have 2 different login.html pages and bundle to a .tar file like the documentation says.  I download it via tftp to the controller and it is successful. The disclaimer page opens up when I connect and it looks as it should.  The problem is I cannot seem to get the accept button to work. It redirects to a web page but it is undefined. 
       I must be missing some setting somewhere, but I just can not seem to find it.  Is there any line I need to edit in the login.html files that will redirect the page.    The config on the Web Login Page  Redirect URL after login is http://www.mccg.org which is our home page.
    Any help will be appreciated.  I cannot seem to fine very good documentation, or I am just overlooking something.
    Thanks

    Your HTML code is wrong. Attach your code if your okay with it and I can check.

  • How to install Web Auth. Bundle on WLC 2504

    Hi, 
    I need to install a Web Auth bundle and when I download the file from cisco's webpage, its a .zip, but the WLC asks for a .tar file, so I converted it to a .tar and tried again but then it said file was too big.
    Can someone please instruct me on how to do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Javier

    Hi,
       the .tar file size (no more than 1Mb

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Web Authentication Bundle

    Hi All
    I am currently playing aound with the WLC Web Auth Bundle.
    I need to do Guest Access using a Proxy Server so obviously the Web Auth doesn't work unless you configure the client to locally bypass the 1.1.1.1 address. This isn't practical for the clients so I was thinking of using the Web Passthrough function.
    I have successfully downloaded the Web Auth bundle that gives me an acceptable usage policy page and the login page with an entry for the client's email address. I now want to edit the login page and then download the Web Auth bundle again.
    Does anyone know how to overwrite or delete the existing Web Auth bundle on the WLC?
    Thanks everyone.
    Regards
    Roger

    Does anyone know how to overwrite or delete the existing Web Auth bundle on the WLC?
    ANS - Currently no way.. we have raised the enhancement request and the bug ID is CSCtf51294 and the link as well..
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtf51294
    The bug is resolved and will be out in next 7.0 Release..
    As of now, we can try downloading the new Web auth bundle and then this may overwrite the existing one..

  • Unable to preview cust web auth from controller

    Hi,
    The custom web-auth is not able to test preview from controller, but it is able to display fine from the actual Guest SSID where guest are connecting from.
    Version 4.1 able to test preview but not on the later newer releases.
    Any idea
    Thank you

    Just tested with 5.2, it is working fine.
    Anyway, TQ

  • Web auth not working on new controllers

    We are currently experiencing a problem with web auth on one of our sites. This uses WiSM2 controllers running version 7.2.110.0 of the software.
    The affected SSID is set up for web auth exactly the same way as our other site and that works (although that uses WiSMs running 7.0.230.0).
    Both sites use the same web auth bundle and the same certificate. We have a DNS entry that points back to the virtual interface IP they all use which is 1.1.1.1.
    When users connect to the SSID they are not being presented with the login page. Running a preview on the controller at the problem sites shows the correct page that should be being displayed.
    The controllers have had the certificate re-applied, the web auth bundle reloaded on and have been upgraded from 7.2.103.0 to 7.2.110.0 but none of these have resolved the issue. All other SSIDs work fine, but this is the only one that uses web auth.
    As I say, the only configuration difference is the hardware (WiSM2 vs WiSM) and the software level.
    Any suggestions?                

    When you mention that the login page does not open, that usually means that is a DNS issue. Make sure that you allow DNS from the guest subnet to the DNS server in which the FQDN of the certificate is being resolved.
    Are you anchoring the guest ssid to an anchor controller? It would be the same troubleshooting, but make sure the anchor is configured correctly. The foreign wlc guest ssid needs to have a mobility anchor to the anchor wlc and the FW needs to allow DNS back in if your using an internal DNS server.
    If you are not using an anchor wlc, the best way to test is to map the guest to another dynamic interface on the inside network that is working. If that works, your FW is blocking DNS on the guest subnet. You also can remove the FQDN (make sure it was entered correctly) from the VIP and test. If that fixes it, then DNS was not resolving the certificate FQDN.
    Hope this helps
