How-to "auto-direct" RAS users once connected?

ottawa_tech_31 · ‎01-29-2010

We have an AS5350XM on order, which I'll get to configure (first time for a RAS box for me

Basically, we'd like it that once users are connected to our RAS that either a specific website automatically opens (such as internal corporate portal with webmail), or to have a banner popup with links to those resources.

Is this do-able? How do I do this, and is this the best way to do it?

Thanks

No, the AS cannot do that (captive portal). You must use an external device for that.

i know it can't host the portal.

i am asking about either a script posy-login that could bring up a website, or bring up a banner with links.....like an sslvpn landing page or a menu.

basically, i'm tasked with restricting ras, and i'm looking for something to "guide" my users to a portal (like herding cattle...)

As mentioned above: The AS cannot modify user traffic in any way, meaning no landing page, script or anything else. These are all features of a captive portal, that the AS does not do.
