Captive Portal Functionality:
* Captive portals are used to enforce user authentication by redirecting web browser requests to a login page until authentication is successful.
Operation:
* When a user connects to the network, their HTTP requests are intercepted and redirected to the captive portal login page. This process continues until the user provides valid credentials.
Implementation:
* Juniper Configuration:
shell
Copy code
set security authentication-web redirect-url "http://<captive-portal-url>" set security zones security-zone <zone> interfaces <interface> host-inbound-traffic system-services http set security zones security-zone <zone> interfaces <interface> host-inbound-traffic system-services https set access profile <profile-name> captive-portal
* This configuration ensures that all HTTP/HTTPS traffic is redirected to the specified captive portal for authentication.
References:
* Detailed configuration and operation are documented in "Tech Ops Managed Router Juniper Install Guide" and related documents.
