Cisco AP1242 Captive Portal for Auth?

I recently asked about radius authentication in general for getting onto WiFi network.  A step further - I wondered if there is a way to create captive portal with these APs.   To contrast I recently bought a CradlePoint WiFi router.  Built right into it is the ability for a web page to be presented to users with disclaimers and all when they try to attach to the SSID.  Takes just seconds to set up.  I bought this for a department that does trade shows and it works great for that.  Just pop in a 4G USB card and off they go.  Back on the Cisco APs - is it possible for set those up with some kind of captive portal?  That is a user is presented with a web page with disclaimers and the opportunity to authenticate (say via radius or AD).  I would be find if I had to point to the AP to another server that actually served the web page and performed the auth.  We are a Windows shop.  Thanks.

There's nothing straight from Cisco's APs that can do this, unless you use a Wireless Controller.

If you get the wireless controller with the Access Points then is it possible and relatively easy?
