Field Description
password String. Password for the account. This field may be up to 64 characters in length.
password2
String. Password for the account. If this field is set, its value must match the value of the
password field for the account to be created or updated. This can be used to verify that a
password has been typed correctly. This field controls account creation and modification
behavior; it is not stored with created or modified visitor accounts.
password_action
String. Controls the password changing behavior for a guest account. This field may be set
to one of the following values:
l empty string – Default behavior; that is, guests are not required to change their
password
l deny – Prevents the guest from changing their password
l first – Requires the guest to change their password on their first login
l next – Requires the guest to change their password on their next login
l recur – Require the guest to change their password on a regular schedule (as specified
by the password_action_recur field)
l recur_next – Require the guest to change their password on their next (or first) login,
and then on a regular schedule (as specified by the password_action_recur field)
If the guest is required to change their password, this will take place during a network
login, before the guest is redirected to the NAS for login. Guest password changes are only
supported for Web login pages and guest self-registration pages that have the “Perform a
local authentication check” option enabled.
The default behavior is to leave guest passwords under the control of the guest. With the
default behavior, guests are not prevented from changing their password, but are also not
required to change it on any particular schedule.
password_action_recur
String. Specifies a date or relative time, after which a guest will be required to change their
password. Using this field also requires the password_action field to be set to the value
‘recur’. The value of this field should be a relative time measurement, indicated with a plus
sign; for example “+15 days” or “+2 months”.
password_last_change
Integer. The time that the guest’s password was last changed. The password change time is
specified as a UNIX timestamp. This field is automatically updated with the current time
when the guest changes their password using the self-service portal.
random_password
String. This field contains a randomly-generated password. This field is set when modifying
an account (guest_edit form).
random_password_length
String. The length, in characters, of randomly generated account passwords.
l For nwa_words_password, the random_password_length is the maximum length of
the random words to use. Two random words will be used to create the password,
joined together with a small number (up to 2 digits).
l For nwa_picture_password, the random_password_length is ignored.
