Configuring the portal fail-permit feature

The portal fail-permit feature takes effects when the portal authentication server or portal Web server is unreachable. When the access device detects that the portal authentication server or portal Web server is unreachable, it allows users on the interface to have network access without portal authentication.

When portal fail-permit is enabled for a portal authentication server and portal Web servers, the interface disables portal authentication in either of the following conditions:

Portal authentication resumes when the specified portal authentication server and a minimum of one portal Web server becomes reachable. After portal authentication resumes, users who failed portal authentication and unauthenticated portal users need to pass authentication to access network resources. Portal users who have passed authentication can continue accessing network resources.

On the same interface or service template, the portal Web server is unreachable when both primary and backup portal Web servers are unreachable.

Before you configure this feature for a service template, make sure the service template is disabled.
