white list and captive portal

dthibodeaux — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 18:36:58 GMT

Is there a way to whitelist some URLs that would be allowed without or before authentication via Captive Portal? What we are wanting to do is allow users to access email via Office365 without having to authenticate first on the captive portal. This is all via wireless of course. I tried adding a rule at the top of the security polices before the captive portal rule, but it stopped browsing all together. Thanks!

Hi Dthi,

Did you use "No-captive-Portal" option along with custom URL for that website.? If not try following steps.

1. Create custom URL for that website.

2. Create a captive portal policy with that custom URL. and configure it for "No-captive-Portal" . Let me know if that helps.

Hello dthibodeaux,

If you go to the Policies -> Captive Portal tab, you can add a rule at the very top for URLs that you do not want to activate Captive portal for.

The action of this rule would be "no-captive-portal" and this should take care of your requirement.

Here is a document on configuring Captive Portal for your reference. https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-1159

Hello,

You may accumulate all required URL's under a custom URL category ( white list) and apply that on a no-capive-portal policy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

We have done this with a FQDN.
