Hi all,

This is a case about portal authentication.

[Issue Description]

After enabling MAC address-prioritized Portal authentication, some users cannot reconnect after lock and unlock the screen.

[Analyze]

The root cause is that the SSID tpmpad that uses MAC address authentication is configured on the AC with local database. After the terminal is connected to this SSID, the terminal will remember it. After the terminal is locked and unlocked, the terminal connects to this SSID. But if the terminal does not have a local account, the authentication fails. After the authentication fails, the terminal will be silent for 60 seconds. In this case, the terminal cannot perform MAC address-prioritized Portal authentication.

  MAC address authentication is Enabled.

  Username format: use MAC address without-hyphen as username

  Quiet period is 60s

  Authentication fail times before quiet is 1

  Offline detect period is 300s

  Server response timeout value is 120s

  Reauthenticate period is 1800s

  Guest user reauthenticate period is 60s

[Solution]
1. Other devices connect to SSID Test is not allowed, hide this SSID, so other device cannot search and connect to it. 
[AC6605-wlan-service-set-Test]dis this
#
  forward-mode tunnel
  wlan-ess 221
  ssid Test
  ssid-hide
#

2. For the devices that have ever connected to it, delete the SSID on the device. 

hide the SSID will resolved this issue , thank you for sharing

why we need this kind of authentication, please check below:
To ensure network security, the enterprise needs to deploy an authentication system to implement access control for all the wireless users who attempt to connect to the enterprise network. Only authenticated users can connect to the enterprise network. Considering the mobility feature of a large number of STAs, the administrator decides to configure Portal authentication on the AC at Layer 3 network to control access. The requirements are as follows:
  • Users can access only public servers (such as the Portal server, RADIUS server, and DNS server) before passing authentication.
  • Users can access the Enterprise intranet (such as the issue tracking system) after passing authentication.
  • Enable MAC address-prioritized Portal authentication to allow users to connect to the wireless network without entering user names and passwords when they move in and out of the wireless coverage area repeatedly within a period (60 minutes for example).

    In MAC address-prioritized Portal authentication, when the Portal server needs to authenticate a user terminal, the device first sends the user terminal's MAC address to the Portal server for identity authentication. If the authentication fails, the Portal server pushes the Portal authentication page to the terminal. The user then enters the user name and password for authentication. The RADIUS server caches a terminal's MACaddress and associated SSID during the first authentication for the terminal. If the terminal is disconnected and then connected to the network within the MAC address validity period, the RADIUS server searches for the SSID and MAC address of the terminal in the cache to authenticate the terminal.

Thanks...  
example:

the sharing of technology enrichs my knowledge and the professional answer is totally right to bring me the new viewpoint.
at the sametime ,it is necessary for me to read the posts. within the posts cuting large amouts of fact meterials, which encourage me to be better.
one hand, i have aquired a large number of skills which is very useful for us and is interesting for us to remember it.
another hand, that a good post which is in network technology contains a lot of excellent experience.
thanks very much for your sharing. we are so happy for your next sharing like this.

wow learned it how to hide ssid .

1. Other device connect to SSID Test is not allowed, hide this SSID, so other device cannot search and connect to it.
