Authentication Captive Portal Use Custom HTML Template - not working

Question

Hi, I've tried using the Custom HTML template on the captive portal to conform the page to our company CI and provide some extra disclaimers when logging in, especially for visitors or contractors on our network. However, the

is not populating properly. On the preview it looks fine, but then when you browse to the captive portal (or get redirected) on any of the popular browsers, there's no username or password fields, or login button. Actually, all of the items that's supposed to be auto-populated are not there. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I missing something? The current workaround is just to use the standard login with the page headers and footers for the disclaimers, however, this does not look nice to me and fails our branding guidelines miserably; the Custom HTML Template allows a lot more flexibility in formatting the various elements, so I would really like to be able to use that. Regards,

Thanks for the answer. I ended up doing the same but finally stuck with the default captive portal. After implementing STAS though, incidences of having to authenticate this way were reduced to few and far inbetween.
