External Captive Portal with Cisco Mobility Express

This guide was tested with a Cisco Aeronet AP1852E-K9 with Mobility Express 8.10.185 :

There are only a few steps in order to get your Fydelia OnDemand splash page working with Cisco Mobility Express:

ACL/Walled garden

In these steps we’ll create a new ACL entry for ondemand.fydelia.com

Open Security Settings:

Click “Add new ACL”

Give it a name such as Fydelia

Click “Add URL Rules”

Enter ondemand.fydelia.com with action “Permit”:

WLAN Settings

Under wireless settings choose WLANs

Create a new WLAN

Click WLAN Security and set the options as follows:

Checklist:

• Guest network is enabled
• Captive network assistant is enabled
• Captive portal is set to “External splash page”
• Captive portal URL is set to your Fydelia Ondemand Splash page (which is using the Mobility Express form)
• Access type is set to “Web Consent”
• ACL Name is set to the one created in the previous ACL/Walled Garden step

Guest redirection (optional)

The Fydelia splash page has the option for a “Continue URL” so this isn’t usually required.

However if you wish to override the Fydelia splash settings and redirect guests using Mobility Express settings:

• go to Wirelss Settings -> Guest WLANs

• Enter your preferred redirect URL:

On your Fydelia splash page be sure that you chose Cisco Mobility Express login form.

Session duration (optional)

In some rare cases you will need to configure the session timeout via the CLI. To do so, please click here.

You’re all set!  You should now be able to login using your Fydelia splash page.
