External captive portal login is a process by which users can access protected resources from outside the organization’s firewall. External captive portals are essential for organizations that need to allow employees to access secure applications and services located on the Internet, or in other untrusted networks. There are two main types of external captive portals: internal and external. Internal captive portals allow users within an organization to access resources while remaining inside the firewall; external captive portals allow users from outside the organization to access these resources.
