    Hi Community,

    I want a local web page to start automatically when the user connects to a specified SSID. Is there anyway?

     

    Controller ver: 6.5

    Yes, that's called a captive portal. Although I'm not quite sure that is exactly what you are asking. 

     

    A captive portal starts the new user in a limited user-role that redirects all traffic to the captive portal. This then requires some sort of authentication (username/password or just an "Accept" button) and once the user does that their user-role is changed to allow all access and stops the redirection. A basic captive portal can be configured on the controller but more advance requirements need something like Clearpass.
