Authentication Logs

The Authentication Logs table displays information about successful authentication attempts involving cloud-based PPSK and RADIUS users, and users authenticating through a cloud-hosted captive web portal using either social log in credentials or a PIN. The table includes authentication events for the time range that you define using the Start, End, and Time controls at the top of the page. Search for a specific client or user name in the Search field above the table.

The table displays the following information about successful network authentication attempts:

• Auth Status: The status of the authentication.
• User Name: The name of the cloud-based PPSK or RADIUS user, or the email address of a user authenticating through a cloud-hosted captive web portal.
• SSID: The SSID associated with this authentication.
