I'd say the HTML form is always set to post the form values (username, password, etc.) to the controller, not to RADIUS server directly. The controller then queries RADIUS server with RADIUS protocol and the return value from the RADIUS server determines what the controller returns to the browser and what optional redirection, walled garden and other options it sets for the authenticating web user. The above happens for portal pages that are stored in the controller (internal portal) or that are external. With extranl portal the controller redirects to user to a web server that can serve more advanced content than the controller could. See e.g. the links below and especially the second link that describes external portal use with Cisco. Note: What I described works more or less equally for e.g., Aruba, Cisco, Exterme and Ruckus. I used cisco docs as an example since they are quick to paste as links. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.2/configuration/guide/cg_user_accts.html#wp1120909 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076f974.shtml Thanks, Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen <h...@open.com.au> Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.
