Figure 185 Creating a Guest Account—Guest Provisioning Page
If you do not want multiple guest users to share the same guest account concurrently, navigate to the Captive Portal
Authentication 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.
Guest Provisioning User Tasks
The Guest Provisioning user creates guest accounts by filling in information on the Guest Provisioning page.
Tasks include creating, editing, manually sending email, enabling, printing, disabling and deleting guest
accounts. The Guest Provisioning user can also manually send emails to either the guest or sponsor.
To create a new guest account, the Guest Provisioning user clicks New to display the New Guest window. (See
Figure 186.) After filling in information into the fields, click Create. The guest account now displays on the
Guest Provisioning page.
If you manually configure the user name and password, note the following:
l User name entries support alphanumeric characters, however the percent sign (%) and trailing the back
slash are not allowed.
l Passwords must have a minimum of six characters. You can use special characters for the password.
l 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.
