For https redirect you need this command on the wlc
config network web-auth https-redirect enable

I have these three enable in controller

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Captive Portals, WISPr, and https Re-directs

Hello,

I am curious about what people are doing for their Guest captive portals.  In 
my case, It's been a bit of a battle to combine usability and security.  For 
example, if I try to keep a session completely captive before guiding the user 
through the onboarding process that means disabling WISPr or "web-auth 
captive-bypass" in Cisco WLC terms so that a user can get to the play store 
during onboarding.

Of course, disabling this makes it so that the client browser does not 
automatically pop-up to notify the user to accept an AUP or complete the 
onboarding process, etc.  Since the browser does not pop-up and auto-re-direct 
that means a user must 1) open a browser, and 2) type on non-https address in 
order for the web-redirect to work.  I think too many users have an https 
website for their homepage ie. https://www.google.com so this means they never 
get to the re-driect page unless they understand to type a non-https URL.

So, I am playing with a scenario right now that uses WISPr first, then 
re-directs to the onboarding process.  This works rather nicely for iOS, OSX, 
and Windows, but Android and ChromeOS want to shut down the WISPr browser after 
my re-direct. :(

Just curious:

Does your captive portal offer WISPr?  If so, how are you allowing devices to 
the Play Store?

If no WISPr, have you found some other way to make https re-directs work for 
users?

Let me know.

Thanks,

Curtis
