Figure 1 Visitor access using W-ClearPass Guest
In this scenario, visitors are using their own mobile devices to access a corporate wireless network. Because access to
the network is restricted, visitors must first obtain a username and password. A guest account may be provisioned by a
corporate operator such as a receptionist, who can then give the visitor a print receipt that shows their username and
password for the network.
When visitors use self-registration, as might be the case for a network offering public access, the process is broadly
similar but does not require a corporate operator to create the guest account. The username and password for a self-
provisioned guest account may be delivered directly to the visitor’s Web browser, or sent via SMS or email.
