Hi,

Can anyone provide the portal server files for version V2 or V3. I am trying to build a captive portal on the BRAS part of Huawei NE40E-X8. I am still unable to do it as I am able to redirect the web request to external web server but to authenticate it with the router I need to send some request to the router in some format. I expect that the method is to get the portal files to host in my custom HTTP Server. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

@anush3d hi,
there is no special requirements for the portal server, you can build the portal server yourself, and it seems Huawei don't provide the corresponding files.

I understand I will build it myself but then how will the portal server send authentication to huawei ne40e ? Like what is the protocol for authentication ?? As in do I need to post some variables to huawei ne40e ? or do I need to send the username and password in some other way ?

I need to know how my external portal server will communicate with the BRAS ?

Hi,anush3d
When the BRAS redirects a user to the web authentication page, the user enters the user name and password. The BRAS encapsulates the user name and password into a RADIUS packet and sends the packet to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server checks the user name and password and returns the RADIUS authentication result. If the authentication succeeds, the user enters the web authentication domain and can access the network.
For how to congfigure mandatory web authentication,please refer to https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1100109721&id=EN-US_TASK_0172373966&lang=en

Hi,
The BRAS does redirect to the web authentication server which is a normal httpd server hosted by me. My question is, what are the files for the web authentication page? Like any templates or something ?

And how does the web authentication server send the username and password to BRAS ? like in which format or post ?

if post then what are the variables ?

@anush3d hi,
you mean you want to authenticate users local but authentication page pushed to the users is implemented on the external portal server?

@anush3d hello,
as in your situation, the NE40E should work as a RADIUS server, which NE40E cannot. So, it's impossible to authenticate the users locally with external portal server.

So external portal server will not work at all with NE40E ?  

@anush3d no, it could work with NE40E, but you need an individual RADIUS server to authenticate the users since NE40E cannot work as a RADIUS server.

You may take a look at the example Web Authentication

Hi,
I understand web authentication method but again my question is:

How will the Web Server (192.168.8.251) interact with BRAS ? using which protocols ?

Is the web server hosted in the BRAS itself or at an external server ?  

@anush3d hi,

web server interact with BRAS through a specific protocol, named portal protocol, please refer to (portal protocol) for more detail information.
