Configuring Rights
Connection Profiles
A client is associated with a Connection Profile based on the Access Controller port through which he
accesses the 700wl Series system, the VLAN to which he belongs (if any) and the day, date and time that
he accesses the system. The default Connection Profile, “Any” includes clients from any Access
Controller port, belonging to any VLAN or no VLAN, at any time, on any day.
The Connection Profile is used in the Rights Assignment Table, in concert with the Identity Profile, to
determine a client’s access rights. If the client is unknown (i.e. has not been authenticated and does not
match a known MAC address in the built-in database) the Connection Profile determines how to
authenticate the client. This can include specification of a custom logon page as well as defining the
Authentication Policy to use for authentication.
» To view the currently defined Connection Profiles, click the Connection Profiles tab visible at the top of
any Rights Manager page.
The Connection Profiles page appears (see Figure 4-12).
