[From Beginner to Expert] Q&A: A Portal Server Does Not Automatically Push an Authentication Page

Fault Symptom

A Portal server does not automatically push an authentication page.

Procedure

1. Check whether the Portal server detection function is enabled in the Portal server profile.

   Error-prone configuration: The Portal server detection function is enabled on the AC, but the Portal server is not enabled. In this case, the Portal server status is displayed as Abnormal on the AC.

   [AC6605-web-auth-server-controller] display this 
   # 
   web-auth-server controller 
    server-ip 12.12.12.6 
    port 50100

    url http://12.12.12.6:8080/portal

   Suggestion: Enable the Portal server detection function only when the Portal escape function is required. If heartbeat detection is not supported or enabled on the Portal server, disable the Portal server detection function.
