Visitor Access Scenarios
The following figure shows a high-level representation of a typical visitor access scenario.
Figure 1 Visitor access using W-ClearPass Guest
In this scenario, visitors are using their own mobile devices to access a corporate wireless network. Because
access to the network is restricted, visitors must first obtain a username and password. A guest account may
be provisioned by a corporate operator such as a receptionist, who can then give the visitor a print receipt that
shows their username and password for the network.
When visitors use self-registration, as might be the case for a network offering public access, the process is
broadly similar but does not require a corporate operator to create the guest account. The username and
password for a self-provisioned guest account may be delivered directly to the visitor’s Web browser, or sent
via SMS or email.
