Defining the Web Authorization redirect address

When a user enters a valid URL, the user is redirected to the switch Web Authentication page and the welcome page is displayed. By default, the Web Authentication address returned to the browser is the IP address of the FastIron switch. To prevent the display of error messages saying that the certificate does not match the name of the site, you can change this address so that it matches the name on the security certificates.

To change the address on a Layer 2 switch, enter a command such as the following at the global configuration level.

device(config)# webauth-redirect-address my.domain.net

To change the address on a Layer 3 switch, enter a command such as the following at the Web Authentication VLAN level.

device(config-vlan-10-webauth)# webauth-redirect-address my.domain.net

Entering "my.domain.net" redirects the browser to https://my.domain.net/ when the user enters a valid URL on the web browser.

You can enter any value up to 64 alphanumeric characters for the string, but entering the name on the security certificate prevents the display of error messages saying that the security certificate does not match the name of the site.
