About Guest Management Processes
There are two major ways to manage guest access – either by your operators provisioning guest accounts, or
by the guests self-provisioning their own accounts. Both of these processes are described in this chapter.
Sponsored Guest Access
The following figure shows the process of sponsored guest access.
Figure 5 Sponsored guest access with guest created by operator
The operator creates the guest accounts and generates a receipt for the account.
The guest logs on to the Network Access Server (NAS) using the credentials provided on her receipt. The NAS
authenticates and authorizes the guest’s login in W-ClearPass Guest. After authorization, the guest is able to
access the network.
Self Provisioned Guest Access
Self-provisioned access is similar to sponsored guest access, but there is no need for an operator to create the
account or to print the receipt. The following figure shows the process of self-provisioned guest access.
