Configuring the portal fail-permit feature
Perform this task to configure the portal fail-permit feature on an interface. 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.
If you enable fail-permit for both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server on an interface, the interface does the following:
Disables portal authentication when either server is unreachable.
Resumes portal authentication when both servers are reachable.
After portal authentication resumes, unauthenticated users must pass portal authentication to access the network. Users who have passed portal authentication before the fail-permit event can continue accessing the network.
