D-Link DSR-150 [32/274] Captive portal

Unified Services Router User Manual

2.5 Captive Portal

 DSR-150/150N/250/250N does not have support for the Captive Portal feature.

LAN users can gain internet access via web portal authentication with the DSR. Also referred to as

Run-Time Authentication, a Captive Portal is ideal for a web café scenario where users initiate

HTTP connection requests for web access but are not interested in accessing any LAN services.

Firewall policies underneath will define which users require authentication for HTTP access, and

when a matching user request is made the DSR will intercept the request and prompt for a username

/ password. The login credentials are compared against the RunTimeAuth users in user database

prior to granting HTTP access.

 Captive Portal is available for LAN users only and not for DMZ hosts.

The Active Runtime internet sessions through the router‘s firewall are listed in the below table.

These users are present in the local or external user database and have had their login credentials

approved for internet access. A ‗Disconnect‘ button allows the DSR admin to selectively drop an

authenticated user.
