portal https-redirect wired enable

Usage Scenario

After HTTPS redirection is disabled for wired Portal authentication users, Portal authentication cannot be triggered when a wired Portal authentication user uses HTTPS to access a website. As a result, the user cannot go online. To allow Portal authentication be triggered when a wired Portal authentication user uses HTTPS to access a website, run the portal https-redirect wired enable command to enable HTTPS redirection for wired Portal authentication users.

Prerequisites

HTTPS redirection of Portal authentication has been enabled using the authentication https-redirect enable command.

Configuration Impact

If a non-Huawei AC and non-Huawei APs are connected to the switch, APs and users are associated with the AC, and the switch performs Portal authentication for access users, users will go online at a slow rate after HTTPS redirection is enabled for wired Portal authentication users. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable HTTPS redirection for wired Portal authentication users in this scenario.

Precautions

After HTTPS redirection is disabled for wired Portal authentication users, Portal authentication can still be triggered when a wired Portal authentication user uses HTTP to access a website.

This function takes effect only for new wired Portal authentication users.
