l modify_password: This field controls password modification for the visitor account. It may be set to one of these
values:
n “reset” to randomly generate a new password according to the values of the random_password_method and
random_password_length fields
n “password” to use the password specified in the password field
n “random_password” to use the password specified in the random_password field
n If blank or unset, the default password behavior is used, which is to use any available value from the random_
password field and the password field, or assume that “reset” was specified otherwise.
l password: This field is the password for the visitor account and may be provided directly. If this field is not
specified, then randomly generate a password (according to the values of the random_password_method and
random_password_length fields).
l role_id: This field is the role to assign to the visitor account and may be specified directly. If this field is not
specified, then determine the role ID from the role_name field. If no valid role ID is able to be determined, the
visitor account is not created.
l simultaneous_use: This field determines the maximum number of concurrent sessions allowed for the visitor
account. If this field is not specified, the default value from the GuestManager configuration is used.
l random_username_method – The method used to generate a random account username. If not specified, the
default value from the GuestManager configuration is used.
l random_username_length – The length in characters of random account usernames. If not specified, the default
value from the GuestManager configuration is used.
l random_password_method – The method used to generate a random account password. If not specified, the default
value from the GuestManager configuration is used.
l random_password_length – The length in characters of random account passwords. If not specified, the default
value from the GuestManager configuration is used.
Visitor Account Activation Properties
l enabled: This field determines if the account is enabled or disabled; if not specified, the default is 1 (account is
enabled).
l do_schedule, modify_schedule_time, schedule_after and schedule_time: These fields are used to determine the
time at which the visitor account will be activated.
n If modify_schedule_time is “none”, then the account is disabled and has no activation time set.
n If modify_schedule_time is “now”, then the account is enabled and has no activation time set.
n If modify_schedule_time is a value that specifies a relative time change, for example “+1h”, then the visitor
account’s activation time is modified accordingly.
n If modify_schedule_time is a value that specifies an absolute time, for example “2010-12-31 17:00”, then the
visitor account’s activation time is set to that value.
n If modify_schedule_time is “schedule_after” or “schedule_time”, then the activation time is determined
according to the schedule_after or schedule_time fields as explained below.
n If schedule_after is set and not zero, then add that time in hours to the current time and use it as the activation
time (setting do_schedule to 1); enabled will be set to zero.
n Otherwise, if schedule_after is zero, negative or unset, and schedule_time has been specified, use that activation
time (set do_schedule to 1 and enabled to 0). If the schedule_time specified is in the past, set do_schedule to 0
and enabled to 1.
n Otherwise, if schedule_time if not specified, then the visitor account has no activation time and do_schedule
will default to zero.
