2.6.1.3. Walled Garden
Fig. 89. Walled Garden Settings.
IP addresses or URLs in the walled garden can be accessed without authen-
tication. This feature is useful for WISPs to do advertisement. For example, a
WISP can set up a Web server to contain advertisement information for
users who have not subscribed to its wireless Internet service. The walled
garden links are shown on the log-on authentication page.
To add a link to the walled garden:
1. Describe this link in the Prompt text box.
2. Specify the URL of this link in the URL text box.
3. Click Add. Then you'll see the newly entered hyperlink appear in the
Walled Garden Table.
NOTE: You cannot specify a Web site that supports Web redirection, which
redirects HTTP requests to another URL, as a walled garden site. If such a
Web-redirection-enabled site is specified in the walled garden, an HTTP
access request to this site is redirected to another site that is “out of” the
walled garden. And the user is therefore needs to be authenticated to access
this out-of-walled-garden site. Always specify a Web site that actually hosts
Web content as a walled garden site.
