Downloading a Customized Web Authentication Login Page

You can compress the page and image files used for displaying a web authentication login page into a

allowed size of the files in their uncompressed state is 1 MB. When the .tar file is downloaded from a
local TFTP server, it enters the controller's file system as an untarred file.

error" and "TFTP transfer failed." Therefore, Cisco recommends that you use an application that
complies with GNU standards, such as PicoZip, to compress the .tar file for the webauth bundle.
