Import SSL to WLC Ruijie
|
The captive portal wifi I am currently using uses http (80), and I want to change it to https (443). Is this possible on the Ruijie WS6008 WLC? |

Dear customer, The HTTPS service uses the self-signed certificate by default. You can run the web-server https certificate command to install the HTTPS service certificate issued by the certificate authority. web-server https certificate { pem cert-filename private-key key-filename } | { pfx cert-filename } [ password password-text ]  |

Lanang Rabbani replied at 2025-10-22 15:57 Dear customer, The latest firmware version for WS6008 is AC_RGOS 11.9(6)W5. You can refer to the configuration guide for this RGOS version like the one below. These commands will also work on WS6008 running on AC_RGOS 11.9(6)W5 . https://www.ruijie.com/en-global/support/documents/slide_rg-ws7005-av2-ac-rgos11-9-6-w5-configuration-guide/# |

Currently, it is still HTTP. Do you have any suggestions? I have already activated the HTTP to HTTPS redirect and enabled HTTPS, but the WiFi captive portal still does not change to HTTPS. Please help. |

On the WS6008 Web interface, navigate to "Authentication" → "Web Authentication" → "iPortal Authentication", confirm whether "Fully Customized" or "Partially Customized" is selected in the page settings, and check whether the URL in the template uses the HTTPS protocol. and manually enter the HTTPS Portal address in the end point browser to confirm whether it can be accessed normally |
Edited by Lanang Rabbani at 2025-10-31 10:00 GTAC-Scenty replied at 2025-10-29 18:00I have checked it. In the HTML files uploaded no explicit redirection to HTTP or HTTPS in them. Redirection or protocol usage will depend on how the pages are accessed from the server. If the file is accessed using HTTP, then the redirection and form action will use HTTP. Similarly, if the files are accessed via HTTPS, the redirection will follow that protocol. I have imported SSL correctly, and if I access the captive portal using only the IP address, SSL works, but if I access the captive portal using the IP address:iPortal Server Port, SSL does not work, whereas direct captive portal using the IP address:iPortal Server Port works. Please help.   |
Lanang Rabbani replied at 2025-10-31 09:59 Hi sir, SSL is only enabled on the default HTTPS port (443). The custom ports (such as 8443, 8081, etc.) listened to by the iPortal service are not configured with SSL/TLS encryption. Therefore, even if you access using https://ip:port, the browser will not be able to establish a secure connection. The insecure certificate of the portal is a requirement of HTTPS. The https function must have a certificate, which is generated by a self-signed certificate. When compared with the CA certificate built into the browser, if the issuing authority is inconsistent, it will be insecure. Best regards, Steve |
Steve replied at 2025-10-31 10:17 My question is not whether it is safe or not, but why does my SSL not work when I open the captive portal WiFi? Whereas if I open it with just the IP, SSL works, and SSL can only be used with an IP or domain, whereas this captive portal is opened with IP:portal. |
