Creating Devices During Self-Registration - MAC Only
This section describes how to configure a guest self-registration so that it creates a MAC device account. After
the guest is registered, future authentication can take place without the need for the guest to enter their
credentials. A registration can be converted to create a MAC device instead of standard guest credentials.
This requires a vendor to pass a MAC parameter in the redirect URL. W-ClearPass Guest does not support
querying the controller or DHCP servers for the client's MAC based on IP.
To edit the registration form fields, go to Configuration > Forms and Views. In the guest_register row,
click the Edit Fields link. The Customize Form Fields page opens. If you do not see mac or mac_auth in the list,
click the Customize fields link above the list. Click the Edit link in the field’s row. In the Define Custom Field

n Validator: IsValidMacAddress
l Add or enable mac_auth

l Any other expiration options, role choice, surveys, and so on can be entered as usual.

When the visitor registers, they should be able to still log in via the Log In button. The MAC will be passed as
their username and password via standard captive portal means.

If the guest logs out and reconnects, they should be immediately logged in without being redirected to the
captive portal page.
Creating Devices During Self-Registration - Paired Accounts
Paired accounts is a means to create a standard visitor account with credentials, but to have a MAC account
