There are a few more options on the page and on the remaining tabs, the most important of which is HTML Page Contents. We will cover the remaining options in this section.

• HTTPS Options initially has a single option, the Enable HTTPS login checkbox, which when checked, will cause the captive portal username and password, over an HTTPS connection, to take advantage of the SSL encryption such a connection provides.
  • If this box is checked, you must provide the HTTPS server name and the SSL Certificate. The server name should match the Common Name (CN) in your certificate.
  • By default, when HTTPS login is enabled, clients can connect to the captive portal via HTTPS. You can prevent this by checking the Disable HTTPS Forwards checkbox, in which case attempts to connect to port 443 sites will not be forwarded to the captive portal. Users will then have to attempt a connection to port 80 to get forwarded to the captive portal.
• The final section, HTML Page Contents, is where you can upload the captive portal pages. A minimal knowledge of HTML or PHP is required to create these pages, and if you don't want to create your own, you should be able to find sample captive portal pages that you can use (some may require some slight modification for your needs). The pages you can upload are the Portal page contents (the actual captive portal login page), Auth error page contents (the page to display when an authentication error occurs), and Logout page contents (the page to display on authentication success when the logout popup is enabled, and which may or may not contain an option to log out of the captive portal). When you have uploaded these pages, you will be done with the configuration of this captive portal zone, and you can press the Save button at the bottom of the page.
• There are several other options worth mentioning. The MACs tab allows you to control access to the captive portal based on MAC addresses. Clicking the +Add button on this page allows you to add a MAC address. Once you do this, you will be at the Edit MAC Address Rules page. Here you can specify a MAC address (the button to the right of this option allows you to copy your MAC). The Action drop-down box allows you to choose what to do with traffic from this MAC address (the options are Pass and Block). You can also specify Bandwidth up  and Bandwidth down limitations for the MAC address (in Kbit/s), as well as a non-parsed description in the Description field.
• The Allowed IP Addresses tab allows you to control captive portal access by IP address. Clicking on the +Add button on this page takes you to the Edit Captive Portal IP Rule page. At a minimum, you must enter the IP address and the CIDR of the address. You can also specify the direction of the access. From allows access from the client IP through the captive portal, to allows access from all the clients behind the portal to the IP. The Both option allows traffic in both directions. As with MAC addresses, you can specify Bandwidth up and Bandwidth down for the specified  IP address.
• The Allowed Hostnames tab allows you to control captive portal access based on hostname. Again, the +Add button on this tab allows you to add entries. You need to enter a hostname in the Hostname field, and, as with Allowed IP Addresses, you can control the direction of the access, as well as Bandwidth up and Bandwidth down. You may also enter a non-parsed description in the Description field.
