User Authentication Based on Web Portal

Hi friend!
Portal authentication is also called web authentication. Generally, Portal authentication websites are also called Portal websites.

When an unauthenticated user accesses the Internet, the device forcibly redirects the user to a specific site. The user then can access resources in the specific site for free. When the user needs to access resources outside the specific site, the user must pass authentication on the portal authentication website first.

A user can access a known Portal authentication website and enter a user name and password for authentication. This mode is called active authentication. If a user attempts to access other external networks through HTTP, the device forcibly redirects the user to the Portal authentication website for Portal authentication. This mode is called forcible authentication. https://support.huawei.com/hedex/hdx.do?docid=EDOC1000101619&id=dc_fd_nac_0006_1&lang=en

Portal Authentication Process
The first thing to do during authentication is to initiate authentication. There are two methods for triggering Portal authentication:

• Active authentication

       In this mode, a user actively accesses the Portal server for identity authentication. The user accesses the Portal authentication website through a browser, enters the IP address of the Portal server in the browser, and then enters the user name and password on the displayed web page for authentication.

• Redirect authentication

       In this mode, a user enters a non-authentication website address and is redirected to the Portal authentication website for authentication

Hi sachandio,
Portal authentication is also called web authentication. Portal authentication websites are generally called portal websites.
When an unauthenticated user accesses the Internet, the device forces the user to log in to a specific site and allows the user to access services free of charge.
