300-435 Question 299
Single answerAn organization is deploying a third-party external captive portal for guest Wi-Fi authentication in their Cisco network. As part of the solution, they need to authenticate users by redirecting them to an external web page, then allow network access based on their credentials. Which API function provided by the External Captive Portal API should the organization use to notify the Cisco network of successful authentication?
- A
POST /guest/success
- B
POST /api/v1/auth/login
- C
POST /api/v1/captiveportal/notify
- D
POST /api/v1/guest/authentication
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In a Cisco deployment using an external captive portal, the API endpoint 'POST /api/v1/captiveportal/notify' is specifically designed to inform the Cisco network that the guest user has successfully completed authentication. This allows the network to grant appropriate access to the user. Understanding how to use this API is crucial for integrating external authentication systems with Cisco networks.
- A. Incorrect.
This is not a valid API endpoint for notifying successful authentication in the External Captive Portal API.
- B. Incorrect.
This endpoint is typically used for internal authentication workflows, not for external captive portal integration.
- C. Correct.
This is the correct API endpoint used to notify the Cisco network when a guest user has successfully authenticated using an external captive portal.
- D. Incorrect.
This endpoint does not exist in the context of the External Captive Portal API and is incorrect.
