Field Description
Login or Register Message See Introduction Message.
Introduction Message See Introduction Message.
Failed Authentication Message See Failed Authentication Message.
Customize Fields See Custom Fields.
Max Failed Login See Max Failed Login.
Redirection See Redirection.
Default Max Registered Devices Indicates the maximum number of MAC addresses each authenticated end user may register on the network. If a user attempts to exceed this count, an error message is displayed in the Registration web page. The default value for this field is 2.
Default Expiration See Default Expiration.
Delete Expired User Registrations Delete a user from the Registered users list in the Registration Administration web page when their registration expires. If a registration is deleted, the end-user must re-enter the required information the next time they attempt to access the network.

When Delete Expired User Registrations is enabled, the Local Password Repository User is deleted when the client registration expires, and the client registration type changes to Transient.

Delete Local Password Repository Users — If you are using local authentication, and this option is checked, the user is deleted from the Local Password Repository when the registration expires. This option displays when you enable Delete Expired User Registrations.

If you are using a local repository, authenticated end users are assigned to the Web Authenticated Users Authenticated group.

Enable Self-Registration Portal Allows an authenticated and registered user to self-register additional devices that may not support authentication (such as Linux machines) or may not have a web browser (such as game systems). For example, a student may register to the network using their PC. Then, using a self-registration URL provided by the system administrator, they can register their additional devices. Example URL: https: //<controller ip address>:8445/administration
Enable Pre-Registration Portal Guest users can be registered in advance, allowing for a more streamlined and simple registration process when the guest user connects to the network. Pre-register a single user, multiple users, or both. Example URL: https: //<controller ip address>:8445/administration Or, for the administration interface — https://<IP address of portal interface>/administration.

Set Pre-Registration Expiration at First Login — Indicates that pre-registration expiration begins when user registers their first end-system. When this option is cleared, the default expiration of the Pre-Registered user begins from the time the administrator creates the Pre-Registered user account.

Generate Password Characters — Select an auto-generation option for password characters.

Generate Password Length — Specify a password length rule.

Note

Control Rule Web Authenticated Users is created. Users who complete registration through the Authenticated captive portal match this rule. The rule checks for end-system MAC addresses in the Web Authenticated Users group. This rule is only present when Authenticated Registration or Authenticated Web Access is enabled.
