Step 4 - Walled Garden

At present there is no way to configure the walled garden via the web interface. We need to upload a file to the controller in order to support this.

Copy and paste the required domains in to a text editor and save as apple_fqdn.conf on your desktop. Please refer to this list.

 

You need to upload this file to the controller via FTP. To do so, open a command prompt or terminal window and type:

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

The configuration is now complete.
