Configuring Authentication
Guest Registration
Note: Regular Guest users (non-registered) are not considered authenticated when they log in.
However, Registered Guests are considered authenticated as they match a username and password in
the built-in database. As long as the Guest Identity Profile appears in the Rights table prior to the default
“Authenticated” Identity Profile, registered guests will match the Guest Identity Profile and will receive
only Guest rights, but if the “Authenticated” Identity Profile occurs first, registered Guests will match it
and receive rights based on the Access Policy associated with the Authenticated Identity Profile.
If you select the Guest Registration option, the Guest Registration page appears as shown in Figure 5-26.

If you choose to require guests to register before logging on, the following process will occur when they
log on to the system.
• The Guest user fills in their first and last name and selects a username and a password.
• The username and password are entered into the Rights Manager built-in database, and assigned to
the Guest Identity Profile. Once registered, this user will be able to log in as a regular user (using the
username and password he/she registered), but should still match the Guest Identity Profile and
receive only Guest rights (as long as the Guest Identity Profile occurs in the Rights table prior to the
default Authenticated Identity Profile).
• The user’s first and last names are included in the entry created in the 700wl Series system log file
for the logon event, similar to the following:
