Customize the User Profile Application Sequence

Complete the Add a Network Policy task.

You can specify which profile you want to apply to user traffic. By default, an AP applies user profiles in the following order (the last one is the profile that the AP ultimately applies to user traffic):

  • First, the AP applies the user profile indicated by attributes returned by a RADIUS server performing MAC authentication.
  • Second, the AP applies the user profile specified in an SSID for traffic management. This overrides the first user profile.
  • Third, the AP applies the user profile indicated by attributes returned from a RADIUS server when a captive web portal requires user authentication. This user profile overrides both the first and second profiles.

To give priority to a user profile by applying it later in the sequence, reorder the profiles.

This task is part of a series for configuring the Optional Settings for a standard wireless network. Use this task for configurations that have different components in the SSID referencing different user profiles.

  1. Go to Configure > Network Policies.
  2. Select an existing policy, and then select Edit.
  3. Select Next to open the Wireless Network page.
  4. Go to Additional Settings > Optional Settings, and then select CUSTOMIZE.
  5. Go to the Choose User Profile Application Sequence section, and then use the arrows to change the application sequence.

Continue configuring Optional Settings in the Wireless Networks configuration window. Select SAVE OPTIONAL SETTINGS to save your changes.
