Creating Guest Accounts
After the Guest Provisioning user is created, that person can log in to the controller using the preconfigured
username and password. The Management User Summary page displays. (See Figure 112.) This is a sample page
as the fields may differ based on how the network administrator designed the page.

Guest Provisioning User Tasks
The Guest Provisioning user creates guest accounts by filling in information on the Guest Provisioning page.
Tasks include creating, editing, enabling, printing, disabling and deleting guest accounts.
To create a new guest account, the Guest Provisioning user clicks New to display the New Guest window. (See
Figure 112.) After filling in information into the fields, click Create. The guest account now appears on the
Management User Summary page.
If you manually configure the user name and password, note the following:
z User name entries support alphanumeric characters, however the percent sign (%) and trailing the back slash
are not allowed.
z Passwords must have a minimum of six characters. You can use special characters for the password.
z Click on the Account Start and End fields to change the account start and end times. The default account
start to end time setting is eight hours.
Note: A guest user account that is created by a guest provisioning user can only be viewed, modified or deleted by the guest
provisioning user who created the account or the network administrator. A guest user account that is created by the network
administrator can only be viewed, modified or deleted by the network administrator.
Note: If you do not want multiple guest users to share the same guest account concurrently, navigate to the Captive Portal
Authentication profile and select the “Allow only one active user session” option. If a guest user authenticates successfully but
the controller detects there is already a guest session with the same guest username, the second login is rejected.
