Redirect to web authentication not working on Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller

Hi,

I have a wlan with web authentication:

When I connect to the SSID (I get correct IP from the Cisco 5508 Controller) and try to surf, I do not get redirected to the web authentication page (https://1.1.1.1/login.html), when I manually insert the URL I get "cannot display the webpage". Any idea?

The virtual interface is 1.1.1.1.

Thanks!

What network and subnet are using for your internal network?

Have you tried to change the VLAN IP address to a valid network address on within your network like 192.168.20.*

Also why is your primary DHCP server configured in the 192.168.11.* network instead of 192.168.20.*?

Not sure if I understand, but the VLAN IP address is set to a valid 192.168.20.15 network address.

The Cisco Controller is DHCP, so the DHCP must be the management interface IP of the Controller.

When I changed the Virtual DNS name to 1.1.1.1 (the same as the IP) I get redirected if I use http://198.133.219.25, but not with http://cisco.com, I get redirected only if I use IP.

I forgot to mention that the controller is in a lab with no access to DNS server. Does the controller check if the domain is valid before redirecting users? I cant find any documentation on how the controller redirect users.

If the controller fails to take domain lookup, it will not redirect the user (strange).
