Why each option
The Captive Portal is an Identity Awareness feature that redirects unidentified users to a login page to acquire their identity before granting network access.
Captive Portal works by intercepting HTTP traffic from users who have not yet been identified by any other Identity Awareness source (such as AD Query or endpoint agents) and redirecting them to a browser-based authentication page. This allows the Security Gateway to map an IP address to a user identity so that identity-based policy rules can be enforced.
Captive Portal is not restricted to guest users; it authenticates any unidentified user regardless of their account type or organizational affiliation.
Captive Portal targets users who are not yet identified, not users who are already known to the system.
Captive Portal is configured within the Identity Awareness blade settings on the gateway object, not in the Global Properties settings.
