Click OK to Save.

Walled Garden Configuration

At present there is no way to configure the walled garden via the system web interface. We must upload a configuration profile document to the hardware controller directly to enable destination path mapping.

Copy and paste the required landing domains into a standard local text editor and save the resulting document file as apple_fqdn.conf on your desktop space. Please refer explicitly to this list for precise mapping requirements.

You need to push this file mapping package onto the active path loops of your controller via FTP. To execute the push, open a command prompt or terminal shell window and enter:

FTP Console Commands 
ftp controller_ip
[Enter your admin username and password when prompted]
cd /tmp
put C:\Users\my.username\Desktop\apple_fqdn.conf

Configuration Complete

The configuration is now complete.
